But is the new portrait of Corvo a Sokolov original?

That's like saying that the Palestrina Pietà was actually made by Michelangelo which, after studying the square contours of the piece and the heaviness of the figures, would be an unlikely supposition.

Basically, the new portrait, while decent, just doesn't have Sokolov's impact.
