Unfinished Oil Portrait of Well-dressed Older Man, n.d.

Courtesy of the owner

Vital Statistics

Oil on canvas, unstretched, irregular dimensions
Unsigned
Private Collection

Commentary

Trego did a number of portraits in his last years, and only a few of them have been documented. Several portraits or portrait sketches can be seen in his studio in photographs taken there. After the death of Jonathan Trego, whose specialty had been portraiture, in 1901, William received commissions that would have previously gone to his father.

Provenance

Obtained from the artist or his estate by Walter E. Baum and passed down in the Baum family. The current owner is a grandchild of Walter Baum.

Condition

The portrait is in fair condition, needing a cleaning and replacement of the stretchers.
