Wrong Chris, not Thomas Eakins. He died in 1916, six years before the portrait above was painted.
Nope, not Bellows either.keep in mind this is again a tricky one: this artist is famous for a completely different style.
The portrait is a self portrait at age 19.
Hmm. I think I'm out of guesses at this point. I'll get into search mode later. First G'reads things first.
The self portrait looks a bit like Mark Rothko, although the artwork is not what I would associate with him.

Mark Rothko on the left, the artist we're looking for in the middle on the right an art curator.
Correct Gino! And before I posted some of his more known work!Here some of those, first from the surrealistic period and then the abstract:
And the poem was by Emily Dickinson:How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.
I know the name, but never would have guessed it.
