## Caption

This model's thin frame, long beard, and topknot made him distinctively individual. But who is he?

Thanks to the discovery of ramon.alex.hurtado, an LA-based artist and teacher, we now know.

The model’s name was Père Bainville, and he lived in 19th-century Paris. Learn about the discovery process at the link in bio and why naming a model matters.
