1926 Oil/Board, Artist L.C. Earle (1845-1921), Of Distinguished Gentleman

1926 portrait of a gentleman by American artist Lawrence Carmichael Earle (1845-1921.) Last photo is of Earle in later life.
I wish I could tell you who it is, but there's no identification. The portrait looks to be on paper that seems to have a canvas-like texture and is pasted down on heavy stock cardboard.
It's in very good condition with a little wear only where an original mat lay. It could probably use a cleaning, but there are no other issues.
The portrait's sight size measures 13 1/4" by 9 1/4" with another 1/2" on all sides that were under the mat.

L. C. EARLE
Born in New York, Earle studied in Europe and was a member of several art clubs and organizations. He was active in Michigan, Illinois and New Jersey, the states in which he lived as an adult. In addition to portraits, he was a prolific painter of landscapes, farm and coastal scenes, animals and still lifes.
Among the venues he exhibited his work were the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago, the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago and, from 1887 to 1900, the Boston Art Club.
He decorated the Chicago National Bank with murals and his artwork is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; the National Academy of Design; Stanford University in Stanford, CA; the Dallas Museum of Art; the State Museum of Michigan in Lansing; the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, TN.
