Unsigned; identified on back as by Sr. Gladys Ann Givan, SL, c. 1957. Sr. Gladys Ann did a similar painting of Nerinckx and Father Stephen Badin for her BFA degree in 1955, in which she depicted portraits of the two men surrounded by European and American places connected to their biographies, the three veils worn by the Sisters of Loretto, and some of the Loretto foundations (photo and explanation in Givan's personnel file).
