The portrait is based on the death mask taken after he was assassinated. On it, we can clearly observe an asymmetry of the facial features, which may be due to the rigor mortis. it is possible that his head was side oriented in the bathtub and so the mandible hung loose towards the right. Just a hypothesis.

The reconstruction was created for a french tv show.
