Is this an actual painting of Stephen Hopkins?

No, it’s from cover art for his biography:

There is no known image made in his lifetime.

That is from a painting by Mike Haywood which was used on the cover of the Hopkins biography, "Here Shill I Die Ashore" - which I strongly recommend for anybody interested in Stephen Hopkins. It is not of Hopkins directly, but rather what Haywood thinks he might have looked like.

Too bad that no limners, i. e. unschooled portrait painters that worked in the colonies, were along on the Mayflower or any early migration as far as I know.

Mike Haywood assured me years ago in an email that this was “a generic man of the time”.

Ingrīda Cinkmane (Dzelvīte) is related to Stephen Hopkins, "Mayflower" Passenger

I was curious because I am a direct descendant of Stephen Hopkins. I know that he doesn't show up on Geni as a direct ancestor. That is because my line to him is not complete.

Interesting but we more than likely will never know exactly or remotely what he looked like which is unfortunate as is his various adventures and endeavors . Amazing how Bradford gets so much attention when it was the Hopkins family that survived the harsh winter months after lading in the new land now called America. I am a great granddaughter of Stephen’s(11th)

I’m not interested in painting approval . I am most interested in lineage approval for my ancestry line. Would greatly appreciate it if you could put me in vicinity to learn proven progress through the Doane family to Stephen Hopkins.
Thank you 🙏

Oopsy, all this time for some reason I thought we were talking about Stephen Hopkins, delegate from Rhode Island to the Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence.
Silly me.
