Portrait of a Gentleman
Moses B. Russell American
Not on view
In 1934 the Anderson Galleries, New York City, sold this miniature alone, without a mate, as a portrait of John Hunt. Four years later this portrait and (68.222.33) were identified in the Erskine Hewitt Collection at the Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York City, as Mr. and Mrs. Jason David Battles. Based upon a sale record at Parke-Bernet in 1944 the sitters were said to be Mr. and Mrs. James David Botter. In fact, the sitters have not been firmly identified, and the paintings do not appear to be a pair.
