Art Dedication with Kitty Hay

Tuesday, June 7, 4:00-5:00pm

Join Katherine “Kitty” Hay, daughter of John Hay, Kristen O’Rourke, Senior Lecturer, Department of Art History at Dartmouth College, and Susan Warren, Executive Director of the John Hay Estate at The Fells for a special art dedication.  Given to The Fells by Kitty on August 4, 2021, a child portrait of John Hay appears to have been in the family since 1916.  Professor O’Rourke will provide context about the artist, whose initials RES appear to be those of Rosina Emmet Sherwood (1854-1948), a prominent society portrait painter who excelled in portraits of small children. 

Members: free; nonmembers: $10 per person.  Advanced Registration is required. To register, please email info@thefells.org or call 603-763-4789 x3 to reserve your space.  This program is made possible through the support of Kitty Hay.
