Zoomed in, the face is also just... very different from other depictions (and descriptions) of Katte.
I agree. These aren't photographs, granted, but the others that I've seen all look at least vaguely alike, and this is an outlier (and should not be counted? :P).
One that supposedly dates to 1726, according to the person who posted it. I would need to check this one, but I've seen the black-and-white a number of times attributed to Katte, at least.
dubbed a portrait of Katte in at least one Fritz biography
Now that you remind me, I think I saw it in Asprey, if memory serves.
I'm not sure where the people in Wust got that particular picture since it's not in the brochure that I bought there, but they did make some mistakes with pictures in there too
Oooh, interesting. Next time one of us is in Wust, we should bring this up with them!
I find it interesting that the names are so similar, and Katte used to be spelled Katt or even Catt--I wonder if someone misinterpreted it and two separate traditions started.

The one with his sister, for instance.
Three portraits in Fontane.
