1955
Washington County Museum of Fine Arts presented Famous Americans in 1955. The documented selection includes painted portraits. Historical exhibition categories and sitter identifications remain distinct from the museum’s current attributions and object titles. Exact surviving examples are John Vanderlyn’s John Sudam (1829-1830; oil on canvas) and Thomas Sully’s Henry Pratt (1815; oil on canvas). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
