Erisava: I don't think I'd look twice at this if I didn't know the name attached.
What's your take?
Sounds like Thayer painted himself over and over across his life, and people who've studied the set say the later ones get noticeably darker in mood as he got older. This one's supposedly one of the milder ones.

Then again, maybe that's true of most portraits in a museum.
