Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary, Queen of Scots was born Mary Stuart and reigned between 1542 and 1567. Her father sadly passed away just days after she was born, and she became queen at six days old. Her mother decided to send her to France so Mary could grow up in French court. Mary returned to Scotland in the year 1559. What do you think about how she is depicted in this painting?

What The Queen Of Scots Really Looked Like
Professor Caroline Wilkinson (Dundee University) utilized paintings and drawings in order to create this 3D face of the Queen of Scots. Also, the professor drew upon biographical info so that she could avoid highly stylized depictions in her artwork. This rendering of Mary is not very different from depictions of her in classic paintings but you can still see the difference. The feature that remained relatively unchanged is her nose.
