Below is the work of Hadi Karimi, an Iranian visual artist who creates 3D sculptures.
“With no ‘true’ photographs to play with, Karimi worked from the composer’s death mask, which was made by sculptor Jean-Baptiste Clésinger a few hours after Chopin’s death, on 17 October 1849.
“The artist also used a lock of the composer’s hair, which is kept in the Warsaw Museum.
“All the sculpting and colour mapping was done using ZBrush, a digital sculpting tool that combines 3D and 2.5D modelling, texturing, and painting. For Chopin’s floppy locks, Karimi used XGen, an interactive tool used for creating realistic-looking hair.” https://www.classicfm.com/composers/chopin/artist-creates-realistic-portraits-face/

Chopin, an only son, died from TB, which he might have contracted from his younger sister who died when he was 20. Various groups try to claim him as their own for their own purposes. Cease that! His last words: “Now is my final agony. No more.”
