Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828)
Portrait of Counsellor John Dunn
together with a bill of sale dated April 2, 1880 detailing the sale of the portrait from Jane Stuart to J. Montgomery Sears for $2000 and a handwritten letter by Jane Stuart: Newport R.I. April 2d/ 1880/ The Portrait of Counsellor Dunn which is this day [sold?] sold to J. Montgomery Sears is that of an Irish Barrister who was an intimate personal friend of my Father Gilbert Stuart—this gentleman was noted for his wit and humor and was a [crossed out] constant visitor of my Father’s studio. My Father painted the Picture about the year 1794—and as he considered it one of his best he made frequent use of it in giving instruction to his pupils. It has been in the possession of my Father’s family ever since his death and is the last of his works owned by any of us—Jane Stuart
