The Italian name for the painting, La Gioconda, means "jocund" or, literally, "the jocund one", a pun on the feminine form of Lisa's married name, "Giocondo". In French, the title La Joconde has the same meaning. It's suppose to represent happiness and show that through the hard times you can still smile.
It is made with many dark colors which compliments the meaning of the painting. It contains a lot of examples of form and a little bit of of texture.
