Gallery Talk: New Faces on the Wall—Conserving the Portraits of Native American Leaders by Henry Inman

On view for the first time at the Harvard Art Museums are portraits of [Tah-Col-o-Quoit (Rising Cloud)]—an Asakiwaki/Sauk warrior—and a Chippewa chief, believed to be [Weesh-Cub (The Sweet)]. Painted by Henry Inman (1801–1846), these paintings provide a sneak peek into a broader collection currently undergoing conservation treatment. Join conservator Cristina Morilla for a discussion about her treatment of the captivating portraits.
