Attribution History:(l) Exhibited in 1972 as attribted to Jared B. Flagg; according to Library staff in 1972, typical of Jared B. Flagg. Mrs. Gillette Nichols in 1936 did not know which Mr. Flagg painted the portrait; according to Library staff in 1937, probably George Whiting Flagg; Library staff in 1960 thinks it may equally well be by Jared B. Flagg. Foster Wild Rice questions attribution to G.W. Flagg and points out there are portraits of the Hooker and Daggett families of New Haven painted by Nathaniel Jocelyn, and that Jared B. Flagg was a pupil of Jocelyn.
