The mention of American dynasties in a Civics thread got me looking at the Adams family (the single-D variety).
I found it curious that every portrait made of Sam Adams obscures the same side of his face, his left side. I thought maybe he had a jagged scar or large birthmark or something on that side but I can't find mention of anything. Perhaps someone here knows.
Only one exception that looks like a cartoon, or an intentionally unflattering rendition.
