Recreating the face of Bonnie Prince Charlie

This I find fascinating, a glimpse into the past at an almost personal level.

I saw this the poor chap looks most unhealthy

If it’s from your death mask you are not going to be seen at your best.

Not so bonnie then :slight_smile:

He was 67 when he died .
He is portrayed at 24 the death mask has been de aged using a computer .
It would hardly show up blotches anyway .
Maybe there were contemporary reports he was a spotty youth

I read somewhere that he died of Syphliss

I expect they used that portrait too .
Otherwise the structure of the bones are the same .
The portrait was obviously a very good likeness .
