Portrait of Harriet "Hattie" Harwell Wilson High  
(Mrs. Joseph Madison High), 1926  
Oil on canvas  

Sydney Edward Dickinson 
American, 1890-1980 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
Gift of J. J. Goodrum and others, 26.9 

In 1926, shortly after Hattie High announced 
that she would donate her Tudor-style home on 
Peachtree Street to become Atlanta's art museum, 
this portrait was commissioned.  She remained active 
in the Museum until her death in 1932.  Her house 
remained the primary structure until 1955.  It was 
demolished in 1963.
