Portrait of Emilio de Gogorza. He is formally dressed in suit jacket and tie and sporting a handlebar mustache. He is also wearing pince-nez spectacles. According to Wikipedia, pronounced near-sightedness kept him from an operatic career; he became a renowned concert and recital artist instead, as well as a recording artist and professor of voice and music at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. The photograph is inscribed to Lois Steers.
