The portrait of Barnabas Collins was commissioned in the late 18th century and featured Barnabas adorned in much of his trademark jewelry from that time period, including his black signet ring, a brooch and his wolf's-head cane. Some time in the 20th century, the portrait was hung in the foyer at Collinwood, where it has remained ever since. The portrait helped Barnabas to "prove" his credentials as a "direct descendant" of his "namesake" because of the uncanny resemblance between the two.
- Note: The original portrait of Barnabas Collins is not to be confused with the modern portrait, painted by Sam Evans in 1967.
