Portrait by Downman or not?

Yesterday I uploaded File:Charles Tottenham Loftus by Thomas Lawrence.jpg on the basis that it was a Thomas Lawrence portrait but later I found an image, which I have now been upoaded on top of the original. However, the details for that image do not attribute Lawrence but School of John Downman instead as noted here. The eBay auction information is also still available now for you to review the claim it is a Lawrence image. Lawrence would only have been about 16 years of age but he was painting pastels at that time; Downman would have been 35 at the time of the portrait. Is anyone familiar enough with Downman's work to determine which is accurate? ww2censor (talk) 09:26, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
