Picking up Scene 111 after Alex states his belief that the night before Quentin was Charles, Gerard was Gabriel, and they were fighting over Angelique:
]Willie tries to convince Barnabas how good Maggie was, but Barnabas says she's going to her grave as common old Maggie Evans.Cruelly, Barnabas says that she deserves to die, painfully, slowly, so that when she does die, it will be a merciful death. She'll die lifeless--and bloodless![/spoiler]
That’s kind of like Barnabas, Dr. Hoffman, Adam, Eve, Dr. Lang and Willie Loomis all enjoying a cup of coffee around the operating table in the Old House basement!
Picking up Scene 111 after Alex' remark that the day before Quentin wanted to talk about his daydreams:
Kicking and screaming in Dirk's grasp, Nora insists she wants to see "her" when she gets back. No one is coming to the house tonight, insists Judith--behave or I will lock you in your room--go, Dirk--I'll take care of this. Nora doesn't want to tell her aunt who is coming back--because I don't want her to come back! Who? asks Judith. My mother, says Nora--"I had a dream, last night and the night before--she came, she did, and she looked just as pretty as she did before, and she woke me with hugs and kisses. . ." "Now Nora," cautions Judith. "Don't tell me dreams don't come true," commands Nora, "because they do--Jamison dreamed about her, too." Judith tells her that her mother is away for treatment. People get better, insists Nora. She hasn't, says Judith. "Did you get a letter from her?" asks Nora eagerly--if that's true, why didn't she write her and Jamison? She didn't write, says Judith, the doctor did. Nora wants to go see her.You can't, says Judith--she isn't strong enough. Edward and I listened to what the doctor said, explains Judith. Daddy didn't hear from the doctor, says Nora. (oops, caught, Judy!) Gently, Judith tells her, you and Jamison must try to forget your mother. We both tried writing our mother, says Nora, but we know the letters never mailed, because we found them in Daddy's desk--you won't let us write to her, or answer any of our questions, wails Nora. When you're older, says Judith, you'll realize there are questions for which there is no answer--now go upstairs to bed; you get cranky when you don't get enough sleep. Reluctantly, Nora goes upstairs, Judith right behind her.[/spoiler]

So, without further teasing, here's a screen cap from the Blu-ray that shows the proof -
(Click here for a 1000X532 version)
- and don't feel bad if you don't immediately see it - but here's a frame taken from a video I just shot of the VHS with my phone off of a TV (remember, I currently have no way to play the VHS on my computer) that shows the proof much better -
(Click here for a 900X661 version)
- so as you can see it's a sketch of Angelique wearing the same dress and necklace that she wears in the portrait -
- and even though it's not the same pose, it would certainly seem to be ample proof that Charles painted her portrait...
...
...(though given there's an obvious cut in the background music, it would definitely seem as if something was cut from the scene that took place between the time Quentin discovers the hidden paintings and the time he takes out the unfinished one)...
Doing a bit more digging through older '04 topics, thanks to a post from ProfStokes, I think I may have discovered an answer to this:
A portion of Scene 84 in the script:
He starts to look for something
and, moving a trunk to a better position, discovers
that it was concealing a built-in wall cupboard.
Obviously, it hasn't been opened in years. Opening
it, he sees a stack of canvases. He takes one out.
It is a portrait of Angelique and is signed: "Charles
Collins, 1800." Quentin is amazed. He takes out
others. They are all of Angelique. Then he comes
to an unfinished one.
And my comments:... And when he discovers the cupboard and opens it, he doesn't take out any paintings other than the unfinished one, which he carries over to his easel so as, as can be seen in the following capture -
- to get a better look (though given there's an obvious cut in the background music, it would definitely seem as if something was cut from the scene that took place between the time Quentin discovers the hidden paintings and the time he takes out the unfinished one) ...
And ProfStokes' post relates because here's a portion of her listing of the recovered footage that was shown:..., Quentin discovering a sketch that Charles had made of Angelique, ...
