Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans.
Estate of the above.
Gift to the present owner from the above.
The present self-portrait painted by Thomas Pollack Anshutz is believed to be an oil sketch for a self-portrait he intended to exhibit for his induction as an associate member to the National Academy of Design. Ultimately, a final version of the present composition was unrealized and Anshutz exhibited instead a self-portrait painted in 1909.
