DescriptionPortrait of Frederick Lee Bunce by Charles Noel Flagg. Bunce has white hair and a white mustache. He is wearing a suit jacket, a vest, a white shirt with a high collar, and a tie. The clothing is not finished, and is only shaded in at the top near Bunce's shoulders -- the rest of the clothing is just sketched in. There is nothing in the background.
NotesDescription note: There has been speculation that the painting is unfinished, although a note on the original cataloging worksheet states that one of the donors said, "The artist wouldn't have signed it if it hadn't been done."Status
