About the exhibition

The National Gallery displayed Edwin Austin Abbey’s large painted study for The Hours, the ceiling mural in Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives Chamber. The exhibition traced the composition’s development with related studies from Yale University Art Gallery. The painted study, Yale accession 1937.1716, remains a documentary entry and is not confused with the installed mural or separate drawings.
