35.0 Paintings by Johnson with a Later Additional Hand

Paintings by Johnson with a Later Additional Hand are not collaborations, but tend to be heavily restored paintings. They have been overpainted since their original creation to such an extent that another hand is visible in the work. The heaviest restorations are seen in three portraits currently or formerly owned by The Brook, New York, which are believed to have been left unfinished at the time of Johnson’s death and subsequently completed by painter, printmaker, and art restorer Charles X. Harris (1854–1936).
