Dr. William H. Holmes', 'zh-CN
1931
Edmund Hodgson Smart captured the distinguished Dr. William H. Holmes in this 1931 portrait, showing the scholar looking every bit the intellectual heavyweight. With his piercing gaze, neatly trimmed white mustache, and a red book resting casually under his hand, Holmes seems ready to debate the finer points of anthropology or art history at a moment's notice. The soft, academic brushstrokes give the piece a dignified, almost grandfatherly warmth, despite the serious subject matter.
