The sitter is recorded as Mrs. Christian Hemmick, a name taken from caption cards that the Bain News Service itself marked as unverified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with images of current events and public figures in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives of this small size were a standard working format for such agencies, and because the record gives no date, the portrait is best understood within the agency's active years.
