This is more likely to be "F. C. Penfield" -- Frederic Courtland Penfield -- who in 1913 was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary (Austria). He had also served as Agent/Consul General in Egypt and wrote at least two books about Egypt. Political Graveyard entry Compare to this photo dated 1916

Wilson appointed him ambassador to Vienna in 1913, and this portrait might have been taken in relationship to that appointment. www.gutenberg-e.org/steuer/archive/AppendixB/steuer.State...

Frederic Courtland Penfield (1855-1922), US diplomat and writer, based in Europe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Courtland_Penfield I presume that's the second wife he married in 1908, Anne Weightman Walker. (It was also her second marriage.) Her father, William Weightman (1813-1904) was a wealthy Philadelphian: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Weightman When William died, Anne became one of the wealthiest women in the world.

Her husband, Frederic Courtland Penfield:

Wikipedia (using Political Graveyard as a source) indicates that he was married twice. His second wife, Anne (Weightman) Walker, whom he married in 1908, seems more likely for a photograph used in 1913. 6/20/1913 (date written on negative) is about the time her husband was nominated as ambassador to Austria-Hungary. This photo is probably from earlier, since she was approaching 60 in 1913. According to her obituary in the NYT select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20D17F6355B1373... [subscription required] her first husband was Robert J.C. Walker bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=W000066

Yes, looks like the same woman, just maybe a little younger.

As a reminder, I started a biography of her husband here in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Courtland_Penfield
