Arnold Genthe photographed Thomas Kelland in 1930. The portrait exists as a nitrate negative measuring five by seven inches.

Genthe kept a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York, where he continued working into the 1940s. He worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired roughly 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio.

The archive record gives no further information about the sitter.
