This portrait depicts J. P. Morgan, Jr., Pierpont Morgan's son and a founder of The Morgan Library, wearing the robes of a Doctor of Laws, an honorary degree conferred by Cambridge University in 1919. The degree was a gesture of gratitude to the younger Morgan, who, as head of the firm Morgan & Co., provided financial support to the Allies during the First World War. Photo hangs over the Mantle at the Morgan Library in NYC.
