English: This gouache, attributed to Nicholino Calyo, depicts the Haight family in their drawing room in 1848. Richard K. Wright was a wealthy New York City merchant, trading internationally, as the globe in the foreground suggests. Sarah Rogers Haight was a famous beauty and socialite, and the family’s clothing, art, library, and furniture all stand in sharp contrast to the poverty, homelessness, and orphans found on the city's streets.
