Object number1438-P
Label TextAccording to the 1954-55 registration record, the reverse of the canvas was inscribed "1906". The later remounting of the painting on masonite panel prevents confirmation of the record. However, in all likelihood, that date is correct. Williamson, who exhibited two paintings at the Academy's 81st Annual Exhibition, 1906, is listed in the back of the catalogue as residing "Care Robert Henri, 58 West 57th Street." Williamson, who remained friends with Henri after their respective returns to Toronto and New York, probably painted the portrait during a late winter or early spring visit to Henri, finishing it in time for Henri to present it as his diploma work in May of that year.
