According to trustworthy reference works such as Svenskt biografiskt lexikon (Swedish encyclopedia of biography, published by the Swedish national archives) there is no known portrait of Roman (see the article on Roman in this work). Swedish author sv:Ernst Brunner, who is currently writing a book on Roman, claims in an entry at the page "Anmäl ett fel" (Report an error) at svwp that the painting uploaded here is actually a portrait of Mozart on display at the Mozart Museum in Salzburg. /FredrikT (talk) 15:58, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources (trustworthiness unknown) that claim it's a painting of Mozart: http://www.habsburger.net/en/media/wolfgang-amade-mozart-diamond-ring-anonymous-oil-painting-c-1775 https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/portrait-of-wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-austrian-composer-news-photo/164074555#portrait-of-wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-austrian-composer-immortalized-in-picture-id164074555 boivie (talk) 16:11, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Interestingly enough there are also a couple of websites that claim this to be a portrait of Spanish composer Antonio Soler: [1] [2]. /FredrikT (talk) 19:49, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
