New York Portraits from the Permanent Collection at the Vanderpoel House
"Compared with other locations across New York State and across the nation, the county's historic portraiture is impressive, rich and varied."
Columbia County’s painted portraiture legacy spans more than three centuries of historically significant or artistically important works by self-taught, naïve and itinerant painters, as well as important artists of the time, and including some of the earliest works in America.
