This oil painting records a concert by John McCormack, the Irish tenor whose recitals drew large audiences in the United States during the First World War. The date in the record, September 29, 1918, places the scene in the last year of the war, when concerts for servicemen were a common way to lift morale at bases and in port cities. McCormack, who had become an American citizen in 1917, sang sentimental ballads and Irish songs about home, love and parting, which is why the subject headings for courtship and seamen fit the scene.
