Description
I wanted to try doing something based off of the beauty ideals from 1700's France, and this is what I came up with!The descriptions this drawing was based off of:
- The Head should be well rounded; and look rather inclining to small than large.
- The Forehead white, smooth, and open (not with the Hair growing down too deep upon it; ) neither flat nor prominent, but like the Head well rounded; and rather small in Proportion than large.
- The Hair either bright, black or brown; not thin, but full and waving, and if it falls in moderate Curls the better.
- The Eyes, black, chestnut, or blue; clear, bright, and lively, and rather large in Proportion than small.
- The Eyebrows, well divided, rather full than thin; semicircular, and broader in the Middle than at the Ends.
- The Cheeks should not be wide; should have a Degree of Plumpness, with the Red and White finely blended together; and should look firm and soft.
- The Ear should be rather small than large; well folded,…with an agreeable Tinge of Red.
- The Nose should be placed so as to divide the Face into two equal Parts; should be of a moderate Size, strait, and well-squared; though sometimes a little Rising in the Nose,…may give a very graceful look to it.
- The Mouth should be small; and the Lips not of equal Thickness: They should be well-turned, small rather than gross; soft, even to the Eye; and with a living Red in them. A truly pretty Mouth is like a Rose-bud that is beginning to blow.
- The Teeth should be middle-sized, white, well-ranged, and even.
- The Chin, of a moderate Size; white soft, and agreeably rounded.
- The Neck should be white, strait, and of a soft, easy, and flexible Make, rather long than short; less above, and encreasing [sic] gently toward the Shoulders: The Whiteness and Delicacy of its Skin should be continued, or rather go on improving, to the Bosom.
- The Skin in general should be white, properly tingled with Red; with an apparent Softness, and a Look of thriving Health in it.
