Tourists seemed patriotically to gravitate toward the American art at the National Gallery, leaving the European rooms relatively empty. Personally I did not spontaneously find myself expending many pixels on the American things – obstructed by enthusiasts as they tended to be – but did manage the few below, and they will help me remember what I saw.
Thomas SullyThe Coleman Sisters, 1844
Augustus Saint-Gaudens
Shaw Memorial, 1900
John Singleton CopleyWatson and the Shark, 1778
