Origin of image is unclear; picture was taken from a website no longer avaílable. So, no information at all about source and creator. Quality of picture is abominable. But above all: It is impossible that the picture shows the specified person. Clothing and hairstyle clearly indicate a 19th century naval officer, never a 17th century merchant. AFAIK an authentic portrait of Thomas Mun doesn't exist. So the use of this fake picture in Wikipedia articles is harmful to Wikipedia's reputation. Jossi (talk) 16:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
