That is better than showing a photo which is not the real one and can definitely be misleading.

(1864-1946), the son of the violinist, administrator of viennese public health, who conducted the building of several hospitals, especially then "Versorgungsheimkirche", the Magnum Opus of viennese historicism, featuring a bronze head sculpture by Georg Leisek (1869-1936). The photo featured here was executed after 1902 by Hans Makart jun. (1870-1946). The younger Jakob Dont's cultural achievements are comparable to his father's legacy.
