The '''portrait of the Alter Rebbe''' was painted during his first imprisonment in [[5559 (1799)|5559 (1799)]]. In the summer of [[5622 (1862)|5622 (1862)]], the Rebbe ~~Maharash—~~ traveled to the Tsar's village (now [[Pushkin, Saint Petersburg|Pushkina]]), near [[~~Saint~~ Petersburg]], to locate the grandson of the investigator who had kept the portrait in his home. The Maharash found him, and the grandson agreed to hand it over. The portrait was brought to [[Lubavitch]], where a copy was made. It remains unclear whether the original was painted in color or in black pencil, as is the case with all surviving copies.
