Donald Smith, 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal

There are oil portraits of Lord Strathcona by many artists, but the Swiss-born American artist Adolfo Müller-Ury seems to have made a number of head and shoulder portraits of him from 1898 (examples may be found at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad offices, and in the Hudson's Bay Company this has a repainted background), and the artist also presented his 1899 bust-length charcoal and crayon drawing of Strathcona to McGill University in Montreal in 1916.

Ritter sent for Hilde and the children who travelled from Los Angeles to Chicago on the famed Santa Fe Railroad Super Chief and they stayed in Chicago for several months while Julian completed his commissions.
