1981–1982
Terra Museum of American Art presented American Naive Paintings from the National Gallery of Art in 1981–1982. The documented paintings include portraits, vessels and other subjects. The museum histories cite a catalogue by Ronald McKnight Melvin and preserve its numbering without assuming a complete reconstructed checklist. Exact surviving examples are Erastus Salisbury Field’s Mr. Pease (c. 1837; oil on canvas) and Royall Brewster Smith’s John G. Read (1833; oil on canvas). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
