I am posting this message for my colleague, Frederick Voss, Senior
Historian at the National Portrait Gallery. Please respond to him directly
either by email ([log in to unmask]), phone (202/357-1673) or mail (National
Portrait Gallery, F St. at 8th NW, Washington, DC 20560-0213).

National Portrait Gallery Senior Historian Frederick Voss is engaged in
research on the career of the nineteenth-century portraitist George P. A.
Healy. Among his chief concerns, at the moment, is assembling as complete
a listing as possible of the Healy portraits surviving today, in both
private and public collections. A good many of theses works have been
identified largely via the Portrait Gallery's Catalogue of American
Portraits, the Frick Art Reference Library, and the National Museum of
American Art's Inventory of American Painting. And the larger
concentrations of Healy works at places such as the Chicago Historical
Society and the Newberry Library have been surveyed. But there is good
reason to suspect that there are many other works yet to be found in both
smaller public institutions and private hands. Fred Vo Voss would,
therefore, welcome any leads to the whereabouts of Healy portraits,
especially those that are to be found in private collections and the
collelticitons of the less obvious and smaller museums or historic sites.
Thef fuller the informationn h nthese works the better (dimensions, dates,
etc.), but equally welcome would be simply the name of a person or
institution to contact for further information.
