Likely produced by Clyde de Vernet Hunt (1861-1941). Hunt was born in Glasgow while his parents were traveling in Europe. He received early art instruction from his famous uncles, painter William Morris Hunt and architect Richard Morris Hunt. After graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Hunt went to Paris to study painting with Jean‐Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant and sculpture with Jules Coutan. He returned to America to serve in the Spanish American War, achieving the rank of Major before returning to civilian life.
