There are a couple of daguerreotypes of Schumann that were taken in 1850 but all deteriorated and in terrible quality so I tried to search for some paintings of him made during his lifetime. It was really interesting that most of the paintings that I could find looked almost nothing like the man in those photos (maybe just the hair). Even more reason why paintings of that time aren’t trustworthy references!
