In 1504, Leonardo da Vinci, one of the great Italian Renaissance painters, completed The Mona Lisa , also known as La Gioconda, depicting the figure of a woman, by being seated before a visionary landscape, with an enigmatic facial expression that is both aloof and alluring.
In the original sentence, depicting the figure of a woman, is the noun modifier modifying La Gioconda or The Mona Lisa. This is correct.
by being seated describes the earlier noun depicting the figure, which is incorrect.
Logically it should modify the woman because woman will be seated in the painting.
[quote](B) depicting the figure of a woman, who is seated[/qoute]
this corrects the error in the original sentence. who correctly modifies a woman.
[quote](C) depicted the figure of a woman while being seated[\quote]
this is similar to option A, implying, depicted figure while seated before a landscape, with an enigmatic facial expression... this does not makes sense.
with an enigmatic facial expression should modify the woman, which is not the case.

The sentence intends to say that a painter completed a famous painting which depicted the figure of a woman who was seated before a visionary landscape, with an enigmatic facial expression...
All other choices distort the meaning of the sentence except B. B correctly modifies how he completed the painting. By depicting the figure of a woman, who is seated...correct use of modifiers.
choices A, C, D & E erroneously mean that Da Vinci himself was seating or was sitting before a visionary landscape, which is not what the sentence intends to say.
