October First Brings a New Bentley Painting to LPL
This early Bentley painting (on loan from the Two Rivers Historical Society) was thought to be a portrait of William Smalley. Upon closer review and subsequent research, members of the Lester Bentley Committee are convinced it is not Smalley, but a portrait of J.E. Hamilton.
Let us know YOUR thoughts on the subject!
