...Havemeyer bought was now in its possession, the gift of the Havemeyers' daughter, Mrs. Peter H. B. Frelinghuysen of Morristown, NJ. It is perhaps the most spectacular of the treasures that have recently been added to the collections of U.S. museums (see color).

Eliot (his uncle), Abbott Lawrence Lowell and James B. Conant, Hopkinson dashed off impetuous watercolors for pleasure, but turned a cool New Englander's eye to his investigations of famous men.
