Bunker and Cranford (b. 1857) met as art students in New York in the late 1870s and then studied together in Paris. Shown in a studio, Cranford is surrounded by attributes of his profession, including the canvases against the wall, and holds a maulstick. Bunker inscribed the portrait A Mon Cher Ami (to my dear friend) and gave it to Cranford.
