A close up of the sepia photograph of the man and woman in the greenhouse. The man has his left hand resting on the side of the black dog next to him. The painting in front of him is of a woman in a field. The woman to the left of the canvas is clearly the model for the woman in the canvas.

Father and son painters, Daniel Ridgway and Louis Aston Knight, are the focus in today's Treasures from the Vault installment. Read along with Research Curator, Sachi Yanari-Rizzo, about the Knights' journey to creative lifestyles.
