there are several portraits thought to depict gannibal, which include a painting of the battle of lesnaya by pierre-denis martin the younger. the young boy present in martin’s painting is argued to be gannibal, because of the young boy’s role as valet to peter during military campaigns and gannibal’s possible connection to the artist while in france. a portrait by adriaan schoonebeeck is also believed to portray gannibal during his time with peter the great. in schoonebeeck’s portrait of peter the great, the young servant boy directly behind peter is thought to be gannibal. although there are a variety of portraits that claim to contain gannibal, there is little evidence to suggest the claims are accurate.
