State House Art Collection Index of Subjects and Titles

The State House Art Commission has compiled this index of artwork in the building organized by subject/title.

Recent scholarship by the owners of the originals of many early portraits has brought the identification of both their subjects and artists into question. These are indicated by a question mark before their title. 

Not all objects may be on display at all times. Please contact our office for updates if necessary.
