John James Audubon, 1785-1851.
This was the last portrait of Audubon created, in 1850. Dude’s got a wicked case of the olds going on, mostly because he was said to have a serious distaste for false teeth, and given what they had back then, can you blame him? They weren’t wooden (that would be ridiculous - even Washington never had wooden teeth), but people who could afford them had metal or ivory teeth, with extremely uncomfortable fittings, for the most part.
The Auk. Vol IX, 1894.
