was owned by Mrs. Oliver l., Kellogg Of
Cincinnati, the artists birthplace. It
Is hard to believe that this is the same
canvas just recovered from an attic
It is more likely, indeed, that Kellogg
painted two pictures of Old Hickory
one miniature and the other the full
size portrait owned by the Government.
1t is known that kellogg did paint
miniatures; in fact was better known
for miniatures than for his full size
portraiture. Hence, the theory Of two
Jackson portraits by this same artist
Is net such a far-fetched belief, Search
in the files of the Cincinnati Art Mu-
