10 Real Things That Prove Doctor Who Exists

Erik Ludvig Henningsen was a painter who lived between 1855 and 1930.

Over his lifetime, Henningsen created numerous works in the Social Realist style, mainly focusing on groups of underprivileged people. In the 19th century, he wasn't short of subjects.

One of his works – 1899's An Agitator – depicts a scene from a major strike by Danish workers. A group of protestors watch on as a man gives a rousing speech, while police on horseback keep an eye out for any trouble.

The speaker is wearing a brown suit, is very skinny, and has hair that can best be described as "tousled", along with some impressive sideburns.
