The subject, Charles Lee Reese (1862-1940), was, the DAB notes, "one of the outstanding American industrial chemists of his day". In 1902 he became chief chemist of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company and organized their first research laboratory, "the foundation upon which was finally erected the mighty Du Pont research organization"; he was the only man ever to have charge of Du Ponts total chemical activities. He was president of many professional associations, and received numerous honorary degrees before his death in 1940. This portrait would seem to date from the early 1930s.
