Father and Son

Provenance

Recorded as from the Burr family homestead, Greenfield Hill, Connecticut.[1] (Mary Allis, Southport, Connecticut). (Albert Duveen, New York); sold 1952 to Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch; gift 1956 to NGA. [1] This information was first published in Nina Fletcher Little, "Little-known Connecticut Artists 1790-1810," _Connecticut Historical Society Bulletin_ 22 (October 1957), 104, and later recalled by Mary Allis (letter of 13 June 1985, in NGA curatorial files). Donor records list the painting as from Green Hills, Connecticut, but since no town by that name exists, Greenfield Hill, Fairfield County, was undoubtedly intended.
