Old Man in Red Slat Back Chair

Provenance

Recorded as from New York State.[1] Purchased in 1949 by Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch; gift to NGA, 1953. [1] This portrait was undoubtedly "found" together with 1953.5.37 (_Woman in Red Arrowback Chair_) in _upper_ New York State, but donor records do not make this qualification.
