By: Beckham, Eleanor, active 1930-1940s; Ramsden, George Eric Oakes, 1898-1962

Condliffe, says the original of this portrait is in the Bishop Museum, Honolulu. It gives the name of the artist as Eleanor Beckman. However Buck's letter to Apirana Ngata in 1931, gives the name as Eleanor Beckham, "a good New York artist", and this perhaps ties in with the Eleanor Beckham who translated a book by Jacques Maroger, entitled "The Secret Formulas and Techniques of the Masters" (1948).
