Madame De Pompadour
"Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, better known as Madame de Pompadour. She first caught the eye of Louis XV at a masked ball in 1745 (it was said that she was dressed as a domino, and he was dressed as a plant) and was his chief mistress thereafter until 1751. Even after she was no longer Louis' mistress, she was a trusted friend, confidante, and advisor, essentially becoming one of the most powerful women at the French court until her death in 1764."

Not a good idea, those people were painted in their time with the painting skills they knew then. They were as they were painted. Let them be known as they were, not as how they could have been if they were alive today. Also don't understand #30 as it is an actual photo

#13 is mistaken. The actual King Louis otherwise known as the sun king was Louis XIV as in the 14th not the XVI Louis who was decapitated during the French Revolution.
