Tour at 2: Charles Bird King and William Harris Crawford

Yesterday afternoon's "Tour at 2" focused on a single painting in our Radford Gallery in the permanent collection wing of the Georgia Museum of Art. The museum's Education Department, using a simple flip camera, recorded almost 45 minutes of (exciting!) raw video footage featuring yours truly speaking about this painting:
