I think you guys got it right. Now that you mention it, the painting looks like it was made while looking at an n172 Watkins.

It does look more like Watkins. But according to joed25 only 14 medals were given and Watkins did not appear to be popular among the players and the club president.

They all look alike to me, except Deacon White.

I'm terrible with photo face recognition.

Some more reflections.
This is not an appropriate place to be advancing unproven theories about the subject, in deference to the seller's mission, but I can't help but comment that Manager Watkins fills my bill. First, he would be the man who owned formal dress for such an occasion. Or at least think it appropriate to be so attired for such an occasion and to seize the opportunity to honor himself. Second, so far as I know, Helen Dauvray herself commissioned the medals, and I don't think the players had much say as to the distribution. Each medal is engraved on the obverse with the players name and position, but it is surely unknown whether or not Manager Watkins received one.

Joseph, I hope you pass this info on to the seller. You got the top of the tops background info on this piece. I would be a buyer on the Watkins painting at around $1200, but there are serious Detroit collectors who would bid on the Watkins painting. I would ask HA, or try Sterling or LOTG. Take a best offer, I can't see 75K on eBay good luck.
