I was always fascinated by Aivazovsky facial hair style Here one of his portrait — http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Aivazovsky_portrait_by_Tyranov.jpg and another one — http://uploads4.wikipaintings.org/images/ivan-aivazovsky/self-portrait-1874.jpg
What about the "Jim Gurney Rust Belt"?
Hard to compete with Dali, but Courbet, as he appears in his painting La rencontre, ou "Bonjour Monsieur Courbet"
Came here to say, "Frida Kahlo." Leaving satisfied.
Anyone for Caspar Friedrich?

Craziest or best? Sargent wins for best.
Leonardo Da Vinci - self portrait
1512 - red chalk on paper

I don't want to nominate them, but here you can find interesting mustaches.
Mustaches of Hungarian type (the page is called Hungarian mustaches): http://www.magyarbajusz.hu/node/31

Count Lajos Batthyany (1807-1849), prime minister of Hungary (1848), executed at the behest of the Austrian emperor at the end of the Hungarian revolution and independence war (1849). This painting was made by the noted painter, Miklos Barabas.
