The skull of Mozart was the basis of his facial reconstruction from anthropological data. The head is short, with a vertical forehead, the middle face juts forward and the cheekbones are prominent. A poor bone rim protection of the eyes gives to the face a feminine appearance that helps to identify Mozart as his brother-in-law Joseph Lange portrayed him.
