Tesla on the beach with an unknown girl


Tesla was a fan of swimming, so there is a possibility that he is in this picture. But the claim that he performed the duty of a lifeguard on the beach is absurd. The painting is dated from the end of the century, most often mentioned in 1898, and at that time Tesla was well known, generally accepted and well-situated. It was the "golden" period of his life and work, so the fact that he provided for his existence as a lifeguard on the beach is more than unrealistic.
