Yes, that’s the only portrait I’ve seen on various websites

I suppose he was commissioned by Brisbane as a “working class” citizen ( astronomer) so I don’t suspect there would be too many.

In those days portraits were usually only done for the wealthy , ranked military officers , government leaders or folk with high status in society.

Cheers
