Unfamiliar faces in early New York portraits
A City Club survey searched colonial and revolutionary figures for authentic likenesses but found few true portraits. Names like Peter Stuyvesant, Peter Minuet, Wouter van Twiller, and Nathan Hale lack reliable images. Notable exceptions include some depictions of William Bradford, Samuel Fraunces, and several generals, while many founders and family parents remain unportraited.
