Michael L. Marshall, author, and researcher of southern decorative arts and local history, will discuss the works of the itinerant portrait artist Leopold Paul Unger. The recently acquired circa 1852 portrait of Gaston Pool currently being conserved is believed to have been one of his works. Unger, who painted widely in several states, is known to have painted portraits of members of several other families from northeastern North Carolina, including the Leigh and Skinner families of Perquimans County.
