Portrait with DS Cast Member Resemblance
« on: July 26, 2008, 01:51:49 AM »
Well Hello!

I was at the Philadelphia Museum of Art today, enjoying an exhibit of American Folk Art.  Among the paintings was this portrait

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3006/2701964809_ba0e54191b_b.jpg

of David Witmer, Sr. (c. 1835, artist unknown).

I might be imagining things, but I think the portrait bears a bit of a resemblance to Jonathan Frid, as if Mr. Witmer could have been a DS character played by him in a flashback.

Anyone else see the resemblance?

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket,
And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Oh my goodness!

John, I don't think you're imagining it at all.

Yes I do see it.  Tighten up the face a bit and darken the hair, and it's as if he did have Frid sit for the portrait.

Talk about life imitating art!  Who painted it- Charles Delaware Tate or Sam Evans' ancestor?
