21. Two drawings of Beethoven walking by Boehm, in about 1819/20.
21. A drawing of Beethoven walking in the rain by Hoechle, undated, but
undoubtedly from the 1820s.
22. Beethoven sitting at a table in a coffeehouse by Klosson (pipe in his
right hand, newspaper in his left hand), undated, but undoubtedly from the
1820s.
There are also some pictures that maybe are genuine, but to this day there's
no certainty.
1. A drawing by Schwind in his sketchbook, date unknown (head).
2. Two drawings by Lyser in his sketchbook, date unknwon (one head en
profile, one figure standing).
3. Two drawings of Beethoven walking by Lyser, date unknown.
There are also portraits made during Beethoven's lifetime, but most probably
copies of one the above-mentioned portraits.
1. Bust by Dietrich, in 1821 (see for a refutation of the supposed genuity
the article by Rita Steblin in the Beethoven Journal, alas, I don't know the
number of the issue, at least not by heart).
2. Portrait in wax by Lang, probably 1815/18 (head).
The drawings/lithographies of Beethoven walking by Tejcek and Weidner date
from after his death, but probably the artists made them after lifetime
sketches, for they are very realistic.

So Beethoven was a pipe smoker?

Obviously. However, not much is known about this habit, so probably he was
not a fanatic smoker. BTW, I wrote that the date of this drawing is
unknown, but that not correct. The date is 1823.

Allegedly, he also had a pair of glasses, too, but I'm not sure if he
was near or far-sighted, or if he wore them very much at all.

Short-sighted. When he was young he used to wear his glasses, though not
at home (as far as we know). When growing old he often was seen outside
without his glasses.
