Doña María de los Dolores Gutiérrez del Mazo y Pérez, ca. 1796. Oil on canvas, 32 11/16 x 26 in. (83 x 66 cm). Gilded hand-carved wood frame, possibly original to the painting, extensive woodwork and structural conservation by Gill & Lagodich for the Brooklyn Museum, 2012. “José Campeche depicted Doña María de los Dolores, a member of Puerto Rico’s Spanish colonial elite, in a fashionably informal dress around the time of her marriage to Don Benito Pérez, a fellow Spaniard and the future viceroy of New Granada. Campeche was the island’s celebrated portrait and religious painter. His father was an enslaved Puerto Rican of African heritage who purchased his freedom after working as a painter and gilder, and his mother was a white Spanish woman.” —Museum label.

First Harvest in the Wilderness, 1855, oil on canvas, 31-5/8 x 48-1/16 in. Original 1850s American frame, gilded applied composition ornament and stenciled sandwork on wood, restored by Gill & Lagodich for the Brooklyn Museum. “Although not a scene of the American West, this painting can be interpreted within the context of the artistic perpetuation of the notion of Manifest Destiny. Here the American wilderness yields to progress as a lone farmer reaps his first harvest in a field, still dotted with the stumps of recently cleared trees. A boulder resting by the side of the road identifies him by name as “Graham.” Using funds bequeathed by one of its founders, Augustus Graham, the Brooklyn Museum commissioned Asher B. Durand to paint this work in 1855, thus officially establishing its collection of American art. Durand’s dramatic landscape pays tribute to Graham’s efforts as a cultural pioneer.” —museum label
