UNKNOWN BEETHOVEN PORTRAIT

[Cocchini]

I came across this portrait on my hard disc. I must have put it there a long time ago because I have forgotten its origin. Does anyone know anything about it??

I came across a mirror image of that pic recently.. but where?.. the Beethoven-haus Archives?

Shades of Marlon Brando, huh?

Haven't seen this one before! Very unique though. He looks very somber.

But it definitely does not show the one that started this thread.

I found this photo on Dominique Prevot's wonderful Beethoven website in his collection of postcards. It can be found on this link listed as postcard "#145- Portrait from Russia after L. Binenbaum":

Mystery solved.

Thanks Hollywood. That site is a treasure. I have been downloading the great Midi files but never noticed the Postcard collection!
