The "Market Artist" at the beginning bears the likeness of Hergé, creator of the "Tintin" comics. Furthermore, he draws Tintin's portrait in Hergé's style. Using Hergé's likeness is an homage to the artist's own private joke of incorporating the likenesses of friends and family in his Tintin comics. Humorously, the first lines of the film, as stated by the painter are: "Very nearly there, sir. I have to say, your face is familiar. Have I drawn you before?" Tintin, responds: "Occasionally."
