Charles Sheldon (1889 - 1960) was a prolific artist during the Grand Age of American Illustration. After studying under the legendary Alphonse Mucha in Paris, Sheldon set up a studio in New York City to paint stage portraits. His glamorous interpretations of Hollywood stars such as Clara Bow, Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow gained him many commissions to paint covers for the movie magazines of the day. Sheldon's Portrait of Peggy Hoyt is typical of his stylised Art Nouveau approach to portraiture.
