Very interesting ! Limited knowledge on value. Would greatly help if you can figure out if it is contemporary, artist, oil, etc.
Personally, I'm interested in the accuracy of hair color and eye color . . . more value to some if it is a contemporary piece.
Graig Kriendler did a gorgeous Sam Thompson with a lot of research and some guess work at play.
I'm anxious to get opinion from Keith Thompson on this portrait . . . i.e. whether he feels it is based on a photo or if he believes Sam sat for this one.
