Scott Crawford Talk: “Death in 19th Century Portraiture”

Portraiture is often thought of as being a means to capture the image of a sitter determined to have his or her likeness preserved on canvas. However, not all sitters were alive. Scott Crawford will walk us through one particular 19th century painting by Lilly Martin Spencer (on loan from the Taubman Museum of Art) that contains more meaning than meets the eye. Talk begins at 6:30pm. Light refreshments provided.
