Portrait of a Miss Johnson, Thomas Hudson, c.1740.
     

The core of the Museum's small collection of paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture is the personal collection of Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman, which includes visually appealing works from the 17th through the 20th century. Notable among the western paintings are works by Sir Thomas Beechey, Eugène Boudin, Gavin Hamilton, Francis Holman, Thomas Hudson, John Singer Sargent, and Roelandt Savery. Asian highlights include a pair of Chinese Qing dynasty ancestor portraits, a Japanese Kamakura period wood sculpture of a monk and two late Tokugawa period folding screens. The fine arts collection has been enriched by other donations through the years, including a Rembrandt etching The Goldsmith, the gift of John and P. and Helen Morgan Williamson.
