Okay I know this horse has been beaten to death but I've been chewing on this for a while and I still havent seen anyone mention anything--

Im running with the assumption the picture of Narinder on the Lamb's desk is a photograph due to the rendering being completely different than their drawings.

Judging by the phonograph, we can assume the more advanced technology in this world is on par with the latter half of the 19th century (or at least vaguely victorian era inspired; 1820-1914). During this time photography was growing in popularity. Many methods evolved to refine the technique but a popular format for capturing portraits specifically was a daguerreotype.

And, well, here's the thing about early photography

do what you will with this knowledge, but theres good reason why victorian era portraits always looked so stoic

Moreover, there's a good chance Narinder had to hold this pose for at least 30 seconds, and at most 30 minutes

"I just don't want to use those words, 'isolated' and 'fear' and 'paranoia. I just think its not the correct way to go about the fortune and blessing that it is to work, whether they ring true or not, and bring attention to that kind of feeling-state. Even if it's valid, it's not really somewhere I want to go."

Back in 2006 David Lynch sat out in the open on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea in Los Angeles, next to a giant poster of Laura Dern, and a live cow to campaign for Laura Dern's Oscar nomination.
