The sitter is listed as John Quincy Adams, a name most readers will link to the sixth president, who served from 1825 to 1829 and was the son of John Adams. The caption card gives "1874-" as the date range, which cannot describe that statesman, who died in 1848, so the entry may refer to a different man of the same name or contain a cataloguing error. No date appears on the card, and the notes flag the old data as unverified, so the portrait's age and origin remain uncertain. Anyone researching the sitter should check the name against biographical reference works before drawing conclusions.
