I've seen it before. The mask looks oohing like paintings of him. His face is already drawn in death I guess. |

If I hit Powerball that might be something to spend it on, now what to do with the other 599 million. |

I bet it goes for a lot more than they estimate it will. |

The photo showing his face in profile shows a good likeness to Antoine-Jean Gros' painting of Bonaparte at the Bridge at Arcole I think.

I wonder if it's another copy or is it the same one I saw on diplay at Les Invilides in Paris. I can't believe the French would let their copy be sold. |

It's probably recast from the original death mask – could have been made anytime during the last 190 years. If it were THE original mask, wouldn't the expected price be a lot higher? |
