1928
The Century Association presented a loan exhibition of early American portraits in New York in 1928. Its numbered object histories identify a selection distinct from the association’s 1926 exhibition. Current attributions are retained alongside the source’s historical titles and creator labels. Examples securely identified in the museum’s object histories are John Singleton Copley’s Jane Browne (1756; oil on canvas) and Joseph Highmore’s Portrait of a Lady (c. 1730/1735; oil on canvas). The connected works form a partial checklist; exact opening and closing days are not established by this evidence.
