專家說明

James A. Flaherty (1853-1937) was a prominent layman in the Catholic community of Philadelphia and a distinguished lawyer. He was also a Supreme Knight of the Philadelphia Council of the Knights of Columbus. Upon the completion of the present work, the committee of the Knights of Columbus wrote to Eakins, “We wish to extend to you our thanks for the life-like portrait which you have produced of that gentleman.” (as quoted in L. Goodrich, Thomas Eakins, vol. II, p. 192)
