Do you mean to ask for a photo portrait that I find as expressive as a painted portrait? OK? Are the two media equivalent? No? But I think Alexander Hesler's 1860 campaign photos of Abraham Lincoln as as good or better than any painted portraits of Lincoln. I do think that Karsh's photo of Churchill is as good as G. Sutherland's portrait of Churchill.
Are there any Eakins' portrait photos and paintings that can be compared? Seems like that would be a good place to search.
