That Rebbe said that not a single Rebbe of Ruzhin had ever sat like that, and it was therefore hard to believe that the Ruzhiner did so.” —

1) the concept in itself is fascinating (that if the later generations of Rebbes of that dynasty didn’t do that is proof that he didn’t do it!), however

2) I’m not sure that in the painting we see the Tzadik having his left hand placed on his cheek, rather it seems to me that the hand is not on the cheek, perhaps it might be a movement of encouraging the singing of a niggun and perhaps that is a tenuah which the heiliger rusziner did use.

The company went out of business and 147 years ago, and existed obviously for many years before. They didn’t say that the picture was drawn 147 years ago. Just that the company was out of business for 147 years, so it can’t be that this German Jew drew the picture himself and faked it
