Object Details
Irish artist William Gerard Barry completed the 1911 Speaker portrait of John White. Like many artists of his generation, Barry studied at Académie Julien in Paris, after which he settled in the United States to begin his career. The source image for the White portrait is possibly the work on paper that the commission was intended to replace.
