in all the movies about french revolution, they always make marie antoinette looks more beautiful than madame du barry, but in reality, madame du barry had more beauty than marie antoinette, and she was jealous of her because of that
-
Louis XV was a happy man with a mistress like that.

what a vivid oboe!

@narutofan913 then you are very ill informed of her true nature!
-
@oceanblueeyes87 but for me personality is true beauty , and Du barry had an awful personality
-
personality; Antoinette was brought up as a princess & Jeanne had no choice but to be a harlot, yet when circumstances came for her to become Louis XV's mistress, it is mentioned how she had not much difficulty in taking the role of a lady, and both women were known to be charitable, although spendthrifts at an incredible level!

@narutofan913 i used to believe that too of Antoinette, but not compared to Du Barry since i was not well acquainted with her. but when i became very much well informed of Du Barry's life, I came to strongly believe that, although Antoinette was surely attractive, Jeanne was all the more.

@maryann799 true, beauty in fashion today only brings excitement when seen on film or maybe during a dressing-up occasion... but I truly believe these women were somewhat of no normal appearance. such girls of high rank who were unattractive were sent off to high-class nunneries... as for the case of Jeanne, she is described as a very beautiful woman of her day & age as to be a notoriously famous courtesan. to be so, one must have the necessary tools, as is the case of looks.
Those drawlings of du Barry are magnificent!

@rockinamber18 hehe you've got a point! :) Marie Antoinette was a strawberry blond (a little reddish), and Du Barry was golden blond (yellow blond). But, as you have said, their hair looks grey... this is because, in court paintings, they had to wear whitish powder in their hair, as was the fashion those days :)
