•  Support Great photo, already in good condition and very well restored, as usual. It's interesting: it looks almost like a painted portrait, and I'm guessing the oval-shaped dark area behind him is not a shadow that was there but something added to brilliant effect in post-processing. Am I right or totally off-base? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:19, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

  It's overpainted; most obvious in the hair. Basically, it was hard to get proper enlargements from the negatives at the time, so photographers took to adding some details back in themselves after printing the photo. Given this is the only surviving image of him I can find, and the overpainting was contemporary, I think it's fine. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Interesting portrait; at first glance the oval-shaped dark area and the orange background made it look like a totally overdone restauration to me, but both are in the original scan, too, so it seems the original photographer was after a special effect here. (And Adam’s restauration is great, as always.) --Aristeas (talk) 08:13, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
