Harry Ives Thompson (31 January 1840, West Haven, Connecticut - 1906, West Haven, Connecticut) was an American painter, known primarily for his portraits and rural scenes.
He was initially trained as a merchant and helped operate the family grocery store; painting in his leisure time. Upon turning twenty-one, in 1861, he decided that he would rather pursue a career in art and took lessons from Benjamin Hutchins Coe (1799-1883), a landscape painter from Hartford. [1]
Three years later, Coe retired and Thompson took over his drawing school in New Haven until 1867. His first public showing came at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. [2] From 1877 to 1890, he was a regular exhibitor at the National Academy of Design in New York. He also produced numerous portraits of notable people associated with Yale University. [1]
He occasionally painted in New Hampshire as well.

Ammi Phillips was a prolific American itinerant portrait painter active from the mid 1810s to the early 1860s in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. His artwork is identified as folk art, primitive art, provincial art, and itinerant art without consensus among scholars, pointing to the enigmatic nature of his work and life. He is attributed to over eight hundred paintings, although only eleven are signed. While his paintings are formulaic in nature, Phillips paintings were under constant construction, evolving as he added or discarded what he found successful, while taking care to add personal details that spoke to the identity of those who hired him. He is most famous for his portraits of children in red, although children only account for ten percent of his entire body of work. The most well known of this series, Girl in Red Dress with Cat and Dog, would be sold for one million dollars, a first for folk art. His paintings hung mostly unidentified, spare for some recognition in the collections like those of Edward Duff Balken, for decades until his oeuvre was reconstructed by Barbara Holdridge and Larry Holdridge, collectors and students of American folk art, with the support of the art historian Mary Black. Ammi Phillip's body of work was expanded upon their discovery that the mysterious paintings of a "Kent Limner" and "Border Limner" were indeed his.
