Raymond M. Crosby

Raymond Moreau Crosby. [Born] 1876. Illustrator.

Contributor of drawings to Charles Dana Gibson’s Life, he dashed off, in one hour’s sitting, a drawing of John Singer Sargent in Sargent’s own manner which that painter considered the best likeness that had ever been made of him. Ill health sent Crosby to New Mexico and he passed completely out of the ken, but not the memory, of his friends in the Century.
