FAMILY REUNION The subject of the popular portrait Miss Huston in the collection of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum (757/220-7286; www.colonialwilliamsburg.org) was reunited with her family through the recent donation of a trio of watercolor portraits. Though they bear no inscriptions, Barbara Luck, Colonial Williamsburg's curator of paintings and sculpture,found the three portraits and Miss Huston to have been painted as a set."These works appear to represent the two siblings and parents," said Luck."Identical, original framing and stylistic parallels in composition, props, and attire suggest they were created by the same unidentified artist."
