"Howard Chandler Christy (1873–1952) was an American illustrator and historical painter born on January 10, 1873, in Morgan County, Ohio. He studied at Ohio State University and later at the Art Students League of New York. Christy became well-known for his patriotic themes, especially his famous work "The Signing of the Constitution" and his depictions of women in various historical and idealized settings.
Christy’s artistic style was often aligned with that of his contemporaries, including James Montgomery Flagg, known for his World War I posters, and Joseph Christian Leyendecker, a master of advertising illustration. Christy received significant recognition for his work, including the Gold Medal for Painting at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915. He also enjoyed a career in commercial illustration, contributing to magazines and advertising." - Artnet
