Not on viewWeb CommentaryA. Piatt Andrew and his home called Red Roof were the center of a lively group of friends living on Eastern Point in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Isabella Stewart Gardner, who was a frequent guest of Andrew’s, commissioned this portrait from the Swedish artist Anders Zorn. Zorn painted Andrew’s red tie—a code used by urban gay men to recognize one another—with a few bold brushstrokes.
