Context:
Riter Fitzgerald was the art, music, and literary critic for The Evening Item-a prominent Philadelphia newspaper-who championed Eakins's work and publicly defended his controversial teaching methods. The portrait of the journalist is informed by Fitzgerald's open-minded opinions, appreciation of diverse art forms, and commitment to intellectual life. Comfortably seated in his book-lined library, Riter Fitzgerald is portrayed as a genteel figure enjoying a leisurely, yet contemplative, lifestyle. With an open book in his lap, Fitzgerald thoughtfully gazes into the distance, peacefully lost in the realm of ideas.
