Life Mask Facial Reconstructions of History

See the real faces of historical figures through their reconstructed life masks

Using their life masks, I conducted a thorough forensic and academic study to recreate the likely appearances of these historical icons. Utilizing Adobe Photoshop, I skillfully added flesh, hair, and other intricate details to the life masks. On this page, you can witness these remarkable forensic reconstructions brought to life, granting us a unique glimpse into the past.

This page showcases the life mask reconstructions of faces captured in plaster by two pioneering sculptors, John Henri Isaac Browere (1790—1834) and Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828).

"Amazing work and quality. George was a handsome man and this picture does him justice, unlike the toothless, old man images of him. He was in his 50s when he became President. The only change I would make would be to show him with dark, reddish hair like he had in his youth. Thanks!"
