According to Connecticut State Library (ctstatelibrary.org):
"There is little known about Leon V. Carroll. He specialized in painting floral still life. He exhibited at shows and galleries in New York City and Connecticut. In 1937 he created three easel paintings for the WPA Federal Arts Project. Though his dates of birth and death are known, the places of these events are not.
