Kleitsch met William Baker on a train trip to Denver in 1904 and the two men quickly became friends. Baker worked for the Union Pacific Railway and ''aspired to be an artist'' (Dr. P. Trenton, ''Joseph Kleitsch: A. Kaleidoscope of Color'', p. 56). In 1907, at the request of Baker, Kleitsch and his wife Emma left Denver for Hutchinson, KS. There Baker arranged for Kleitsch to work at the Hausman School of Penmanship as an art instructor. When Kleitsch's time in Kansas failed to reward him financially, he and Emma traveled to Mexico City with Baker (Trenton, p. 56) where he lived modestly but produced some important portraits and still lifes in an ''academic-realist style,'' including the present work. ''A 1909 portrait of Baker. . . captured at his desk in repose, with his penmanship tools spread out before him, is a grander and more accomplished picture. Painted in an academic-realist style like Kleitsch's other works of this period, it is a more relaxed representation in a neutral palette with a smooth finish. The background is elaborated with strokes of muted color and a small picture on the wall, a treatment that appears again in Kleitsch's later portraits'' (Trenton, pp. 57, 59)
