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

Join conservator Cristina Morilla for a discussion about her treatment of captivating portraits on Wednesday, Jan. 31. On view for the first time at 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.

Gallery talks are limited to 18 people and registration is required. Registration opens on Harvard Art Museums' website, beginning at 10am the day of the talk. Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk.
