Provenance
At the time of donation, the companion portraits of Hannah Griswold and Manly Peters were attributed to Ammi Phillips. They appear as "Lady in Cap" (223) and "Man with Turned Down Collar" (222) in the chronological list of portraits in Black and Holdridge, "Ammi Phillips: Portrait Painter 1788-1865." Multiple parties have questioned the Phillips attribution upon viewing the paintings.
