This lovely portrait of Jiddu Krishnamurti hangs in the L. W. Rogers Building on the campus of the Theosophical Society in America, along with many other works of art. 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.
