AI tools were used to animate this superb portrait (ca.1850) of Lemuel Shaw by the American (Boston-based) photographic partnership of Southworth and Hawes.

From the commentary by the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Lemuel Shaw's imposing presence, sculpted by intense sunlight and gifted artistic vision, is a startling departure from the conventional posed portrait, customarily set in a studio and lit indirectly.
