Folks from the popular PBS show, Antiques Roadshow, came to film at SAAM yesterday before Saturday’s main event at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. While they were here, they went behind the scenes at the Museum and looked at some of our miniatures in the Lunder Conservation Center. Nancy Druckman from Sotheby's discussed four miniatures on view in the Luce Foundation Center for American Art: Matthias & Thomas Bordley by Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart by Sarah Goodridge, Captain Noah Rich by Unidentified, and Portrait of a Lady by James Sanford Ellsworth. I wonder what treasures they are going to discover on Saturday?
