Downtown Gallery presented The American Family: Folk Paintings 1750–1850 in New York in 1948. The documented selection includes paintings, with particular surviving works identified in the museum histories. Documented examples include Joseph Whiting Stock’s Baby in Wicker Basket (c. 1840; oil on canvas) and Asahel Powers’s Possibly William Sheldon (c. 1831; oil on wood). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
