About the Item
A fun genre painting with students in a classroom being students by American artist George Henry Story (1835-1923). Story was born in New Haven, CT, and after studying a year in Europe, returned to study portrait painting with Louis Bail and Charles Hines for three years. While in Washington for a period of time, Story had met President Abraham Lincoln, drawing him in pencil. At a later date, Story again sketched Lincoln for three days in the Oval office, preparing to paint a commissioned portrait of the President, and actually painted several portraits of Lincoln. Story held the posts of curator concurrently at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. He was at the Metropolitan from 1889-1906, and the Wadsworth, 1899-1922. In 1904-1905, Story had been acting director at the Metropolitan. He was as a member of the Artists' Fund Society and the National Academy of Design, and his work is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut; and Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
