1926
The Century Association presented a loan exhibition of paintings by early American portrait painters in New York in 1926. The documented selection includes portraits by Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, John Wollaston and John Trumbull, together with Frank Duveneck’s portrait of William Gedney Bunce. Examples securely identified in the museum’s object histories are Frank Duveneck’s William Gedney Bunce (c. 1877-1878; oil on canvas) and Charles Willson Peale’s John Philip de Haas (1772; oil on canvas). The connected works form a partial checklist; exact opening and closing days are not established by this evidence.
