This lovely '''[[Schwartz_Portrait_of_Krishnamurti_(art_work)|portrait]]''' of '''[[Jiddu Krishnamurti]]''' hangs in the '''[[L. W.

The painter, Henry Schwartz, probably saw Krishnamurti in person on [[August 29]], 1926, when the cornerstone was laid for the L. W. Rogers Building. He was a local member of the American Theosophical Society living in Oak Park. The pose was modeled after a 1911 painting by English artist Alfred Hitchens (1861-1942) of a much younger Krishnamurti. Schwartz achieved a remarkable likeness with many refinements reflecting Krishnamurti's current age. The work is nearly life-sized. It was donated by the artist's son Vernon Schwartz in 2009. | |||
