There are too many differences.
Finding a reliable image of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan is not possible now. Only a few could see the face of Sultan Suleiman’s chosen one. The artists of that time could hardly look at the padisha’s concubine.
You can only learn from the surviving description what the haseki actually looked like. It is worth noting that the real slave had little in common with the red-haired beauty Meryem Uzerli, who starred in The Magnificent Century. A distinctive feature of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska is called her intellect – she was known as a fully developed lady.
But not everyone was happy with her appearance. The Venetian ambassador could see the face of Suleiman’s favorite, who later shared his impressions. According to his story, Roksolana had a round face, on which light eyebrows and thin lips were barely visible, reports KP. The eyes were small and the nose was round. In addition, according to the ambassador’s memoirs, the concubine cared little for hygiene.
