Theodora Larsh (1887-1955) worked in New York and one of these two miniature portraits of unknown young men is signed "Theodora Larsh". Her life is discussed in more detail in the adjacent portraits by her.
Although the second miniature portrait of a young man is unsigned, both these two came, together with the miniature portrait of a young lady in orange, from a sale of items from the studio of Theodora Larsh (1887-1955).
Based upon a comparison with the miniature of her husband, Francis Dane Chase which is in this collection, it is possible that either one or both of these portraits are also of Francis Dane Chase, as a younger man. 595, 596
