"The Open Barway," J. Alden Weir, oil on canvas, ca. 1910-1919. Gift of The William B. Carlin Trust and the family of William B. Carlin.

Weir Farm National Historical Park is pleased to announce the receipt of five important works of art created by the Impressionist painter, Julian Alden Weir: Portrait of a Lady (Anna Dwight Weir in White), The Open Barway, Foggy Morning or Sunrise in Fog, Branchville, Connecticut Birches, and Ella Sewing.

The paintings were passed down from the artist and his descendants, and ultimately transferred to Weir Farm National Historical Park by the William B. Carlin Trust in cooperation with the William B. Carlin family and the Weir Farm Art Alliance.

By its participation in the transfer of these artworks, the Weir Farm Art Alliance wishes to honor the memory of the late Charles Burlingham, the Alliance’s longtime president and grandson of the artist.
