Vonnoh had just returned to Boston after spending two years in Paris, France studying at the Académie Julian under Gustave Clarence Rodolphe Boulanger (1824-1888) and Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911). Two years later in 1886, Vonnoh would paint a companion portrait of the sitter's wife, Winifred T. Kendall.
