This engaging portrait of Edward Weston is stylistically consistent with Mather's other work of the period which also features a number of sitters posed before the divided backdrop at Weston's Glendale studio. According to Beth Gates Warren, Hagemeyer joined Mather and Weston at his 'shack' in early March 1919 for a lengthy portrait session, where both men took turns posing in Hagemeyer's flowing black cape (Artful Lives, The J. Paul Getty Museum, 2011, p. 156)
