Label TextCalverley met the portraitist Charles Loring Elliott in Albany, New York, probably in the early 1860s at Erastus Dow Palmer's studio, which Elliott used on his visits to the city. Apparently, a mutual admiration existed between the older painter and the younger sculptor, for they soon executed portraits of one another. (Elliott's painting of Calverley is in the collection of the Albany Institute for History and Art and is inscribed on the reverse: Painted for E. D. palmer/ at his studio Mar.1864/C. L. Elliott.) Palmer, Elliott, and Calverley were all part of a group of artists and art lovers who occasionally gathered for informal discussions in the 1860s at Annesley's art store.Collections
