Please visit http://www.clicktobuyboi.in/catalog/product/view/id/9452/, which shows a book on him titled 'Agranthita Abanindranath' (Unpublished Abanindranath). The image in the front cover of the book shows the side view of a slightly younger Abanindranath. But one can easily make out that the image is of the same person as that of the image in the LIFE repository.

The LIFE repository of public domain images has this image on its Google site

The caption is completely botched up by the Life data input guy (presumably) - it cant be Rabindranath Tagore who sported a beard most of his life. I suspect it is RT's famous painter nephew Abanindranath Tagore (teacher of famous Shantiniketan painter, Nandalal Bose)-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abanindranath_Tagore

Even this blog page says so :

http://www.oldindianphotos.in/2010/04/abanindranath-tagore-famous-artist-of.html

What I'm looking from Bengali Wikipedians is to please help me confirm this with some kind of proof. This image is p-d India and uploadable to Commons since Abanindranath died in 1951 at age 80 and this image would be around when he was around 60.

Warm regards,
