Dr Livingstone, I presume?

Cyrus Cuneo (American, 1879-1916), Stanley arriving in Zanzibar.

Cyrus Cincinnati Cuneo, known as ‘Ciro’, had an eventful life himself, sadly cut short by death from blood poisoning after he was accidentally pricked by a hatpin while dancing at a party. He was Italian, born in the USA into an artistic family. His 2 brothers were also artists and his son, Terence Cuneo, became the most famous of all, in particular for his railway paintings. The whole story is on the website proper.
