The caption names the sitter as Viscount Ishii, which most likely refers to Kikujiro Ishii, the Japanese diplomat who served as ambassador to the United States during the First World War. The record gives no date, and the identification rests on caption data from the Bain News Service that has not been independently verified. Bain was a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of visiting dignitaries and public figures, so a portrait like this would fit that trade. Ishii is best known for the 1917 agreement with Secretary of State Robert Lansing concerning China.
