Curatorial Remarks

Note

Kate Johnson, HHV curator, stated that current scholarship about this piece indicates dates from much later than previously thought. As a result, she asked that it be removed from view at Van Cortlandt Manor and that the date of the object be changed from c. 1790- 1810 to 1800-1899. It may be even later. [Jessa J.
