Looking for a portrait painting

[txrandom]

A couple months ago I saw a portrait painting of a guy in a couple different poses. The cool thing was that the paintings were done in the 1700s or 1800s, but the guy had mannerisms of someone from modern day.

Does anyone remember who did these paintings? I saw them on Something Awful.
