Ideal Woman


What was the definition of the ideal woman? Possibly like Scarlett Johansson, but many people say pretty is relative. You can say some women beautiful but another can say she is ugly. Cleopatra for example sounded as the extraordinary pretty woman that attracted two famous Roman, Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony. In fact Cleopatra possibly unlike Elizabeth Taylor that played himself in the film. Almost all the statues, the painting, and Cleopatra's illustrated coin were destroyed during Roman Conquer but several that remained left what possibly the original potrait herself

Somewhat different from what we imagined? For many people possibly then. Apparently Cleopatra had teeth that were not too level, the very pointed nose (remember Cleopatra in the Asterix comic), and even according to the research was not too high and somewhat fat. So whether his beauty of only a myth? That not necessarily because In Cleopatra's period pretty was marked with clear skin and bright eyes. Cleopatra almost possibly had them and that made her very pretty. Moreover possibly not her face that attracted the two men but her charisma, skill, and warmth.

The other example was Saskia, the wife of the famous painter Rembrandt. In many of his paintings she was depicted as the fat woman and even had the multiple chin. But she and the other woman in her day (the 17th century) was categorised pretty because of the plump woman and had sparkled eyes was the same as the slim woman in filling the ideal category

The same thing was current in ancient China . In the Tang dynasty period, the plump woman was pretty and in the later period ,pretty indication was not seen from the face or the form of the body but from foot. More small your foot, more beauty you are. Approximately in the future, imagine what type of woman that we can say ideal?
