Who am I?
Hint: picture taken somewhere in midtown Manhattan [No clicking on the picture to see the guy's name at the bottom, you cheaters]. Extra credit (consisting of no prize or other tangible reward) for identifying the location of the portrait.

I don't know who the person is. But as a guess for the place: Harvard Club of NY, perhaps? I've only been there once, it did have walls that looked like that - and I see an "H" above the painting.

Well, shit. Orin gets the extra credit without getting the actual question. Can you even get extra credit without answering the main question?

James Coolidge Carter? Big anti-Tammany lawyer.

Rats. I guess neither portrait nor location was that tough. Joshua's right. Carter was an important New York lawyer and was also one of the historical-school jurisprudents of the turn of the century. Here's a really nice and informative piece by Lewis Grossman about JCC that I learned a lot from: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=897786
