flyleafbooks has a spectacular aura about
Shape is a 2D object; Form is a 3D object.

Mono Lisa is a 2D illusion on canvas to be a 3D object. Since the style was done in realism, she has great form. You could just reach out and touch her. Her proportions are dead on making it believable.

There really isn't a lot to talk about line because it isn't abstract or a cartoon with outlines. Unless you want to point out any implied, invisible lines the painting has.

The dynamics would be concerned with style and mood. Basically your opinion about what you feel as you look at it.

The texture is visual texture, it's a painting: a 2D illusion on canvas meant to look like something that is 3D. Her skin is smooth and soft looking, her fabric is smooth and silky as well. You want to describe how it would feel if you were to touch it and is it believable since it's meant to be realism.

Because of the time period, there really isn't much space to see. Your foreground is obviously Mona Lisa, there is barely any middle ground but you can get a glimpse of the background. The farther away it looks, the "deeper" in space it is.
