Henry VII's death mask showed a clean-shaven face, but he may have worn a beard in life, as shown in the new reconstruction.

Graphic artist Matt Loughrey produced the image of the deceased king from Henry VII's death mask, which was cast in 1509. Loughrey is the founder of My Colorful Past, a project that restores and colorizes archival images of historic figures.
