so I’m insane and found an actual proper photograph of an obscure historical figure we only had like four pictures of while just looking around on the internet archive
as of now his Wikipedia page has this picture as its example image
I am so happy right now
I forgot to show it off, but to celebrate this discovery, I attempted to make a portrait of the man in question because we no longer have to use the portrait of him made in the 1860s!
he is extremely fun to paint
