Copernicus skull was found according to this news item

and a forensic reconstruction made, using the scull, and compared with a contemporary portrait

the portrait they had to compare with was actually a self-portrait that Copernicus did himself----does anyone have a a link to the self-portrait?

I don't and would like to see it

Pity he lived before radio, because he had a face made for it.
