View Abstract
Subject is seated with his left hand on a cane and his right hand raised. His mouth is partly open, as if in speech. He wears glasses, a tan plaid jacket and tan pants, a white shirt, and a dark tie with gold stripes and round seals at the ends. The setting is most likely the Boardroom of the APS Library. The background shows books bound in red leather with gilded embossing in a glass-fronted cabinet with wood painted green.
