Lolling in a chair under a large, shady tree, this robust fellow may have been employed to help out around Alfred Stieglitz's upstate New York summer home. In the fall of 1922, Stieglitz and his siblings inherited the family property on Lake George, near the Adirondacks. The relaxed atmosphere of the retreat led to the creation of some of Stieglitz's most informal photographs. Thanks to his social invitations, this picturesque region with the lake, grassy fields, and chestnut trees soon became a vacation destination for many of his fellow artists.
