The composer page for Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz contains in image that is actually a portrait of the French novelist & poet Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly.

This is the image on the composer page.


and this is Émile Lévy's, Portrait of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, 1882.


Émile Lévy's portrait is well accepted as a portrait of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly. Numerous sources describe the image as Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, and other images and artworks of M. d'Aurevilly share his likeness. Conversely, only one source I found claims this image to be of J.N. Bobrowicz (https://sheetmusicdownloadfree.com/clas ... nepomucen/). This source provides no information on the image. If my argument compels you to, please remove the image from Bobrowicz's composer page.

I can see how that could be a problem. Not wanting to be my usual rash self, is there any agreement?

I found out that I can edit the composer page directly, so I removed it myself. Someone is welcome to add another image if they can provide a good source, but, from my research, it doesn't seem like a picture of J.N. Bobrowicz has been found.
