This half-length portrait shows Lewis Einstein seated and turned slightly to the right, a pose typical of formal studio portraits of the early 1910s. Einstein (1877-1967) was an American diplomat and author who spent much of his career in European posts and wrote on international affairs. The record notes that the print was registered for copyright and filed in a biographical file, which suggests it was made as an official or publicity likeness, though the record does not say how it was used. Its date of about 1912 places it in the years before the First World War, when Einstein was building his diplomatic career.
