Jimmy,
I looked at yours a couple of days ago to compare. I think it's pretty close. I focused on 3 spots. I looked at the pinstripes, the forehead, and the thumb of the hand by his face.
My pic's pinstripes a crisp and sharp as are yours.
Both foreheads have great detail in the wrinkles. Mine has more brightness washout by his hairline. Is this because it's a picture of a picture or differences in the way the pictures were developed? I don't know.
In your pic, the wrinkles on the joint of his thumb aren't very clear. On mine, you can each one. How could a copy image have more detail than the original?

As I said, it doesn't matter to me as a collector which it is, I am just looking for some education on this.

David,
This is a great painting. I think you showed a pic of this on your wall, a couple years ago.
How big is it?

Best,
