About Her: Madame Du Barry


"She is tall, well made, ravishingly fair, with an open forehead, fine eyes, pretty lashes, an oval face with little moles upon her cheeks, which only serve to enhance her beauty, an aquiline nose, laughing mouth, clear skin, and a bosom which most would be wise to shun comparison."
