Is this what J.S. Bach really looked like? Since it doesn’t matter I’m going to keep picturing him as looks in the traditional portrait.

When people sat for their portraits in those days they dressed up and put on their wigs. Nobody actually went around looking like people did in those paintings. I think the reconstruction is great! If only we had one for Mozart. He really looks like a dork in the portraits. (Haydn, even worse.)
