Notes

Although the portrait is not visibly dated, it is reproduced in the 2/10/1935 MJ, which states that it "has just been completed," which is the source for the made/created date of 1935. Nielson also painted a portrait of Mrs. Daniel Hoan in 1935. However, a label (probably ca. 1980s-1990s) with the work from the Office of the Mayor gives the date as "circa 1924."
