But one thing puzzles me about the original painting: where are
the radiators?
I THINK this picture captures the radiators on a torus. However, I'm
currently blocked from zooming in on the picture.

The fins at the end of the long tunnel coming off the hub (Fig 1a) are
the radiators:

Note the 4-way "solar panels" of the Bernal Sphere (Fig 2) are also
radiators.
Would a habitat of this size need to have substantial
radiators to get rid of excess heat?
Absolutely.
