WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia: Early American Faces, a new assemblage of important paintings and watercolors from both the fine art and folk art collections in the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg, is on view until December 31, 2022.
From the very beginning, American society was composed of people from many different ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Some were born here, some immigrated of their own accord, and some were forced here in the bonds of slavery. In this compact exhibition guests will encounter faces that represent some of the cultures and populations whose works are on view throughout the facility. Portraits include an American Indian man, an enslaved child, a wife and mother of six, and George Washington, among others.
On view in the Ronald L. and Mary J. Hurst Gallery
