Hello! :) Re: Said Abdullah bust. Article "Pictured at Work: Employment in Art (1800-1900)" by Jan Marsh says the portrayed man's name was Seid Enkess and he was actually a professional model. You can find it in the collection "Belonging in Europe - The African Diaspora and Work", available via Google Books, and the chapter with Mr. Enkess's story conveniently happens to be a free sample of the book.
Thanks for the information!
