Holly, you rang?!?
The Frick has one of the worlds greatest art collections including Raeburn, Ttian, Ingres, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Dyke. You'll get lost in there.
Second only to the Met of course. There's a Gilbert Stuart retrospective currently hanging. Nice if you like George Washington portraits hanging everywhere. I really liked one portrait he did of John Adams at 90 years old.
I would schedule several hours to stand in front of Paxton's "Tea leaves." It's in the American wing. Call ahead to make sure that Gallery is open (always open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.)
Go th the Lehman collection and see Ingres' "Princess Broglie" and Raeburn's "Edward Frasier." Check out Valezquez's "Juan De Prado" Van Dyke's "James Stewart" and Rembrandt's "Herman Doomer." Unfortunately the gallery that houses the Lawrence portraits is being repaired. You can see other paintings in various galleries around the city but you'd have to search the world to find any better than those I've suggested above..
