Mona Lisa Smoking a Pipe[1][2] (French: Mona Lisa fumant la pipe) is an artworkby Arthur Sapeck (Eugène Bataille), first shown in 1883 at the second "Incohérents" exhibition.

The original was a painting by Sapeck (Eugene Bataille) successfully exhibited at the Exposition des Arts Incohérents in 1883 (The Oxford Critical and Cultural History of Modernist Magazines).

It was reproduced as an illustration in Coquelin cadet's book Le Rire in 1887, accompanied by the text:

"Voici un tableau de maître représentant une femme d’une beauté éclatante. Supposez, un instant, que, par hasard, le maître ait laissé dans la bouche de cette femme idéale, une, pipe culottée. — Vous riez. Voilà pour les yeux."[3]

English:

"This is a masterpiece depicting a woman of striking beauty. Imagine for a moment that, by chance, the master has left in the mouth of this ideal beauty, a cheeky pipe -.. You laugh. For the eyes. "

This 'augmented' Mona Lisa directly prefigures the famous Marcel Duchamp image L.H.O.O.Q. of 1919.
