Portrait of William Hood Dunwoody 1911

"Portrait of William Hood Dunwoody" is a 1911 oil painting by American artist Julian Story, now held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The portrait depicts William Hood Dunwoody, a prominent Minneapolis businessman and philanthropist, seated in a three-quarter view, his right hand resting on the arm of a chair. The painting is a fine example of realist portraiture of the early 20th century. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and realistic depiction of Dunwoody's clothing and features lend the work a sense of gravitas and authority. Story's use of rich, earthy tones creates a sense of depth and dimension, further contributing to the work's overall realism.
