About the Item
The Portrait of John Wakefield Francis by James Herring depicts a distinguished 19th-century American physician and educator. Dr. Francis, renowned for his pioneering work in medical education and public health, co-founded the Rutgers Medical College and was a key figure in advancing medical practice in New York. Herring’s portrait captures Francis in a thoughtful pose, emphasizing his intellectual presence and contribution to the medical field. Beyond his medical expertise, Francis was also a passionate advocate for public health reforms and played a significant role in shaping the early medical institutions in the United States. His legacy endures as a foundational influence on modern American healthcare. Dr. Francis is portrayed with a pair of glasses delicately held in one hand, while on the table rests on an open book, symbolizing his lifelong dedication to knowledge and learning. The presence of the book underscores his role as a scholar and educator in the medical field. A subtle yet meaningful detail is the ivy draped over the book, symbolizing intellectual growth and the lasting impact of his contributions.

Enjoying Old Times
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
"Enjoying Old Times" by Charles Baker captures a poignant and joyful moment in the life of an older man, immersed in the beauty of nature. The painting features the man in the midst of a hike, his weathered walking stick in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other. His gaze is fixed on the bottle, a focused and content expression playing on his lips, suggesting a celebration of memories or perhaps a spontaneous toast to the present moment.
