About the Item

Recent scholarship (see Emily Esser ) has argued quite convincingly that the group of very fine paintings that have been and are still being attributed to the hand of Jonas Welch Holman (1809-1888) are actually by Lyman Parks (1782-1872). Most notably the wonderful painting- Mrs. Seth Wilkinson #233 in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center and the works noted in the Wilkinson entry in 'American Folk Portraits', Beatrix T. Rumford, editor Includes our portraits of The Martlines. The pair of 'Holmans' in The Art Institute of Chicago are also by Lyman Parks. Images attached.
