    Either people didn’t know how to draw back then, or Avogado was monstrously ugly…

      This style of drawing wasn’t about making someone look pretty or ugly it was about making an accurate portrait, so he likely looked very similar.

      I googled “was Avogadro ugly” and found this picture posted on r/funny ten years ago. But also quite a few people seem to agree that he was indeed quite ugly.
