This is the only thing I found that would be close in age.

One lead I found. There was a Joachim (who went by George) Gagnon (1874-1945) who lived in providence at that time.

I would believe this is a 21yr olds painting (that’s how old they would have been in ‘29 according to the census data)

Edit: it seems like your data is a little different than what’s presented on this site.

Agreed. That would be my guess, that it’s a college student, but not for sure.

Thank you all so much for these leads, please keep them coming. Going to dig more into them.

Not if he was born in 1874 - he would have been 55 years old.
