Reproduction of a painted portrait of Leopold Stieglitz, MD (1867-1956). The portrait was done by the British artist Wilfrid Gabriel de Glehn in 1950. Dr. Stieglitz held the first New York physician’s license, issued by the New York State Board of Regents in 1891, and practiced general medicine until 1952. His patients established the Leopold Stieglitz Visiting Professorship at the New York University College of Medicine in his honor.
