A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). It is a cropped version of the full painting image found here.Portrait of Professor Benjamin H. Rand (link shows painting’s Wikipedia page) is shown, with a different coloration image, and described, by its current-location page. He was the artist’s high school chemistry teacher.A similar-to-that coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, and the framed image, found here, shows its size. The current-location provides this
image from 2011, before its restoration. Even in that condition, a Walmart heiress paid about $20M (if blank page, reload it) in 2007, for its donation to the current-location.A reproduction hangs elsewhere, and its page provides a longer description. The artist/teacher/photographer’s Wikipedia page and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Fourth, of the 5 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
