Photograph of a portrait of Josephine Patricia Smith painted in 1927 by Michael M. Loughlin. Loughlin was a painter who also worked in stained-glass, designing the windows of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Forest Hills. In this portrait, JPS is wearing 17th-century dancing attire which she copied from a history book, as well as a Tara broach and a claddagh bracelet. The influence of the "flapper era" in which the portrait was painted is evident in JPS’s hairstyle.
