Charles Loring Elliott (1812-1868) was one of the most prominent American portrait painters of
the 19th century. His works hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery in
Washington, D.C., the Everson Museum in Syracuse – and in the Skaneateles Library, where nine
are on display. Visitors to the library often ask about these portraits. Who are they? Now,
thanks to research by Sally Holbien, these former Skaneateles residents have been identified.
Dannette Davis, librarian at Seymour Library in Auburn, will present a slide show and will share
the stories of these portraits and the artist who painted them.
