There is a good "esquisse of 1808 or 1809 to see in the book edited by the BEETHOVEN-HAUS (DER FREUNDESKREIS DER FAMILIE MALFATTI IN WIEN - Friend circle of family MALFATTI in WIEN). The drawings are fron Ludwig Ferdinand SCHNORR von CAROSFELD (very talented in protraiting). This drawing of B. is a profile and if you compare with the profile of the mask of 1812 it is exactly the same ! On this drawing the eye is very expressive. If you can't find it I can send a copy.
