Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary Stuart, or more popularly known as Mary, Queen of Scots, reigned from 1542 to 1567. Sadly, her father died a few days after her birth, making her the queen only six days after she was born. Her mother sent her to France so that Mary could be in French court while growing up and she returned to Scotland in 1559. Do you think this painting really shows what she looked like at the time?

What The Queen Of Scots Really Looked Like
Dundee University’s Professor Caroline Wilkinson used drawings and paintings to create a 3D face of Mary, the Queen of Scots. In addition, Wilkinson drew upon biographical info to avoid her artwork’s highly stylized depictions. This rendering of the Queen of Scots is not too different from how her classic paintings depicted her but you can still spot the difference. Mary’s nose, however, is the feature that remained closest to the original.
