I Just Love Stuff Like This

Even if I don't ... oh dear - there's no other way I can think of to say it (my apologies) - take it at face value ...


Ahem.  Neat, though.  At least to me.  (Your morbidity may vary!)


There are links, as of course YouTube would have it, to all sorts of other "portraits" like this - most of them idealized, all of them rather airbrushed looking.  Marie Antoinette in particular gets quite the cosmetic job.  Oddly, a couple of the ones from antiquity are the ones I have the easiest time accepting as (nearly) "authentic".  And one of them is actually a character in my next novel.  Shhh!!!!
