A long-time painter and teacher in Buffalo, New York, Anthony "Tony" Sisti was also a muralist and drawing specialist.

The mural, whose subject was male laborers, was 100 feet long and 9 feet high.

Sisti was born in Greenwich Village and studied in Buffalo at the Albright Art School* with Urquhart Wilcox.

He also studied anatomy at St. Mary's Hospital in Florence.
Memberships included the Buffalo Society of Art, and he exhibited his work with the Salons of America*, the Museum of Modern Art and the Albright Knox Art Gallery.
