Rich, do go to the exhibition of you can. The museum itself is also interesting.
That picture is definitely Dadd's face, I reckon. Certainly it's more or less acknowledged that it's a man's face.
Patrick, thank you for highlighting Louis Swain, an interesting artist, certainly. There was an exhibition if his work in 2012. http://museumofthemind.org.uk/blog/post/kaleidoscope-cats-a-clinical-perspective-on-louis-wain

Thank you for an interesting and informative review.
It would be good if the gallery could arrange a Louis Wain show at some time in the future.

many thanks for this. particularly enjoyed the links. Gave me a mind to go.
Am I alone in thinking the idea for a sketch for mary jane shows a very similar face to Dadd's self portrait?
