The research -- led by Professor John Sutherland from University College London and Professor Amanda Vickery from Queen Mary University of London -- involved a month-long study to gain a historically accurate idea of what Darcy would have looked like. The academics looked into Austen's personal life and relationships to draw conclusions about who might have been the inspiration for Mr Darcy. They also looked into the descriptions and illustrations of the character and the socio-economic and cultural factors that would contribute to Darcy's background, appearance and lifestyle.

The study revealed that the revered Darcy would have had powdered white hair, a pointy chin, a pale complexion, a long nose and sloping shoulders. Not quite the brooding, chiselled chap portrayed on-screen by modern-day actors. And, to help you get a sense of what Darcy would have looked like, the researchers commissioned a portrait of him.

His hair, according to the research, would have been mid-length and powdered white, reflective of the norms of the Austen era. His face would have been long and oval-shaped with a small mouth -- common features among gentlemen of the era. His skin would have been pink and white; a sign of wealth and privilege. His build would have been slender, with a "modest chest", but with "large quads, thighs and calves". According to the research, strong legs were an attractive and important feature to females of the time, with "well-modelled thighs a sign of virility, a good fencer and horseman".

Unlike Colin Firth and Matthew MacFadyen -- who are both over 6ft tall -- the real Darcy would have only been 5ft 11 inches.

The study was commissioned by TV channel Drama to celebrate the "Jane Austen Season", which starts on Feb. 12, featuring Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emmaand Mansfield Park.Perhaps Darcy's good looks aren't a truth universally acknowledged, after all.
