1951
The High Museum of Art presented American Portraits from the National Gallery of Art in 1951, organized by the Atlanta Art Association. Historical sitter identifications and attributions remain in the source evidence alongside current museum identifications. Exact surviving examples are John Wesley Jarvis’s Thomas Paine (c. 1806/1807; oil on canvas), listed as no. 19 and Thomas Sully’s Francis Hopkinson (1834; oil on canvas), listed as no. 20. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
