American, active 1955

Biography

George Harvey Davis was the son of Grace Geddess Davis of Baltimore. He and his brother, Howard G. Davis, inherited from their mother a portrait (now in the NGA) of three brothers painted in c. 1807 by American naive artist Joshua Johnson. Mrs. Davis had received the painting by bequest of her great-uncle, George Washington Westwood [1804-1897], the youngest child in the picture. George Davis sold the painting in 1955.
