Revision as of 14:11, 17 October 2011
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 broach 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.
Background Information
Producer Robert Costello posed - in costume - for the photograph which was the source of the final prop painting; the head of the portrait was left blank until the role of Barnabas was cast, then added.
