Barton S. Hays (American, 1826-1914). Group of three oil on canvas portrait painting including: one depicting a youth in a light blue dress with a white collar, one depicting a feminine figure in a black dress against brown background, and one profile portrait depicting a feminine figure in dark colored dress. The young boy is B.S. Hays' grandson, Barton D. Hinshaw. The other two paintings depict B.S. Hays' second wife, Amy.

Provenance: From the private collection of B.S. Hays, passed down through his family.

Although Hays initially gained popularity for his portraiture - such as his painting of then-governor of Indiana, William Henry Harrison - his focus shifted to still life paintings after his move to Minneapolis and it was these realistic paintings that were his most popular. He also created panorama paintings such as his painting depicting scenes from Harriet Beecher Stowe's iconic novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
