silverwhistle: (Maximilien de Robespierre)

This is all about Max's nose. Yes, I know this sounds really strange as a topic. However:
His pointy and slightly ski-jump nose is one of his most distinctive (and ridiculously adorable) features, as per the physionotrace portraits and others:

The alleged life-mask in the Musée Grévin waxworks (it cannot be a death-mask if it is him, as none was taken and it shows no sign of fractures, dreadful bruising and œdema caused by the bullet-wound) shows a handsome chap with perhaps more pockmarks than the other portraits or descriptions suggest (though that's not that significant). However, it lacks this distinctive profile: the nose doesn't quite convince me, especially given the use of physionotrace technology in the portraits. More views of it here.
