100 Years of French Portraits from the Chester Dale Collection

About the exhibition

The Museum of French Art in New York presented a century of French portraits from the Chester Dale Collection in 1928. The documented paintings include self-portraits and portraits of named sitters; historical catalogue titles sometimes differ from the works’ current museum titles. Examples securely identified in the museum’s object histories are Jules Bastien-Lepage’s Simon Hayem (1875; oil on canvas) and Mary Cassatt’s Portrait of a Lady (c. 1887; oil on canvas). The connected works form a partial checklist; exact opening and closing days are not established by this evidence.
