Description
Original photograph has a small stain and creases on the left side.
Photograph caption dated August 18, 1960 reads "Mrs. Eleanor Cloutman examines portrait." The article partially reads "The attractive 66-year-old woman, a costume cutter and fitter with the motion picture studios for many years, explained the circumstances that led up to today's revelation that she possesses the only painting in the United States by the famed Danish artist, Johann (sic) Julius Exner. The owner of many priceless antiques, Mrs. Cloutman took from storage the Exner painting of her grandmother, 19th century concert-violinist Amelia Hansen Hasselriis."
