DescriptionFew of the portraits McCloskey made during this period seem to have been commissioned or destined for the sitter, as many of them remained in the artist’s hands until his death. A note on the back of this painting indicates the sitter was a young actor he met at the Egan School of Music and Drama at the Little Theatre Building, a successful performing arts school that avidly promoted the achievements of its productions and graduates, where McCloskey had his painting studio.On View
