Agreed. Very odd...but he would have been in India then so maybe there was some reason for it there? I don't know. Grasping at straws here. |

is of a man around 40 years old. I agree. It doesn't look like any other image of him before or after. It's distinctly odd but maybe he had to shave his head for some reason like lice. |

| The original was on EBay, the last copy of the same image i posted, I had cropped of his whiskers. The seller claims its Smith?
What's annoying is, I can no longer find the painting.
So the question still remains is it Our man? |
