Photographic portrait of Michael Faraday
1860
A photographic portrait of Faraday taken before his death in 1867, from the Dibner Library Scientific Identity collection at the Smithsonian. Photography rather than paint, so it reads as documentary rather than commemorative. Good for a later-life Faraday scene.
