 The Face Of Bach - The Meiningen Pastel - Bach Through The Eyes Of His Relatives - Page 1
It is well within the realm of probability that both the Meiningen Pastel and the "ad visum" Johann Ludwig Pastel are, in fact, just that, "life portraits", but that they are both portraits executed many years after the initial sketches, which no longer survive, were made.
The contention, however, that the Meiningen Pastel is, in fact, a contemporaneous portrait from life should not be ruled out; in fact, it is most likely the case.
Nonetheless, despite the remarkable similarity in style, my reaction is that the Meiningen Pastel and the documented portrait of Johann Ludwig are by the same hand, which would indicate that the Meiningen Pastel is the work of Gottlieb Friedrich, not his son.
