"Ok, but what was she happy about?"
Well, it is recorded that to keep her from getting bored during the portrait sittings [Leonardo took some 4 years to paint the portrait] he used to invite music players and singers [and maybe other entertainers as well]. So it would depend on what they were performing. With contemporary cacophony I would expect much higher percentage of disgust.
