Though photography was in existence towards then end of Darwin's life, there was a portrait painted of the scientist looking much like we are used to seeing him with a long white beard.

It is possible that additional portraits of Darwin exist. Photography was in existence during his lifetime which greatly affected the number of portraits of the scientist. However, because Darwin came from a wealthy family, it is not unreasonable to believe that more portraits of him exist.
