Hunter Biden's daughter Maisy was snapped yawning while strolling through New York City with her father close to where the controversial first son's art exhibition continues.

Maisy, 20, was snapped looking visibly tired as she strolled through Tribeca in Manhattan with her father on Tuesday night.   

Maisy and Hunter, 51, were spotted entering the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca after what appeared to be a long day. 

The 20-year-old was seen yawning as she linked arms with her father. She, her dad and a woman who accompanied them were seen entering the hotel through a side door, while flanked by Secret Service agents.

Hunter's artworks are currently being displayed in the George Berges gallery in nearby SoHo. His paintings, which are estimated to be worth six-figure amounts, have sparked controversy over claims buyers with nefarious intentions could purchase them to try and gain access to the president.

Hunter has admitted battling an addiction to crack cocaine and appears in multiple sex photos and videos shared online, with his well-paid former job at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma sparking fears that he is easy to gain access to. 

Maisy's mom is Kathleen Buhle, Hunter's first wife. The couple were married between 1993 and 2017, and had two other daughters together, Naomi and Finnegan.  

The next day, Melissa Cohen, Biden's wife, was spotted out and about by herself in Tribeca - one of New York's smartest neighborhood, which is home to stars including Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep.

Later in the day, Biden's wife of about two-and-a-half-years, swapped her casual look for a more put together stylish look. 

Cohen was snapped with a heavy security detail as she made her way to have breakfast in Tribeca. 

To breakfast Cohen wore, a gray stripped power suit with a classic black turtleneck. Finishing off the look she donned dark sunglasses and sleek low ponytail. 

Biden and Cohen were married in May 2019 after reportedly only knowing each other for a short period time, with some reports claiming they'd spent just weeks together before getting hitched. 

In March 2020, she welcomed her first child with Biden who they named after Biden's late brother, Beau Biden.  Beau died of brain cancer in 2015 aged just 46. 

The Biden family has been visiting New York City frequently as they prepared and opened Biden's solo controversial art exhibit in SoHo which on October 23. 

The president's son made his Big Apple debut as a professional artist at the Georges Berges Gallery in the SoHo district of Manhattan. 

When asked if there would be a formal opening of the show, Berges, who currently represents 16 artists, told The New York Post: 'I don't know.' 

Hunter Biden's art dealer Georges Berges was seen walking down West Broadway in New York City on Wednesday 

Berges is the sole person responsible with managing the sales of Biden's 25 art pieces prices in the ten thousands 

Workers were seen loading supplies into the SoHo art gallery on Wednesday three weeks into Biden's art exhibit 

But on Wednesday photographers captured workmen loading supplies into the gallery hinting at a possible soiree.  

The highly-anticipated art show opened with industry observers and ethics experts eagerly watching to see who purchases the $500,000 canvasses. 

Biden is described on Berges' website as 'a lawyer by profession' who 'now devotes his energies to the creative arts, bringing innumerable experiences to bear.' 

The gallery states: 'The results are powerful and impactful paintings ranging from photogenic to mixed media to the abstract.

'His chosen substrates are canvas, yup paper, wood, and metal on which he affixes oil, acrylic, ink along with the written word; all of which creates a unique experience that has become his signature.' 

Biden began painting as part of his recovery from addictions, and is said to have turned to his canvasses to deal with the stress of being central to attempts to impeach Donald Trump in 2019.

Joe Biden has been unwavering in his support for his son's endeavor.

The show in Manhattan has caused significant controversy and fears about ethics as critics worry anyone wanting to endear themselves to the first family could purchase Biden's paintings

Biden, a Yale-educated lawyer, has had several different careers. He famously served on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, despite lacking any relevant experience, sparking criticism of using his father's position to boost his own wealth and influence 

But ethics experts have expressed alarm, warning that anyone wanting to curry favor with the president could buy a painting to impress.

The White House has said that the buyers will be anonymous, to allay fears. Yet few believe that the identity of the purchasers will remain a secret for long.

Sources say lawyers are vetting individuals who want to view Biden's paintings at Berges' Manhattan gallery.

'It is a whole process to get in to see the Biden show. You have to call the gallery in SoHo, and they are vetting people carefully,' the source told the Post.

'They laid down rules that thorough vetting of any collector has to be done by a team of lawyers.'

Officials have not revealed who hired the lawyers or the purpose behind the legal vetting. 

The gallerist is under intense scrutiny amid fears that Hunter's art sales could be a conduit for corrupt attempts to financially influence the Biden family. 

In an interview with the New York Times, Berges insisted he does not discuss the art sales with the White House and manages the process alone. 

'It's all on me,' he said. 'Who is buying and who is not, it's solely on my shoulders.'

He claimed he alone sets the prices, which in the tens of thousands, and vets the buyers, in a process he did not share, and will be the only one to know who purchases the pieces.  

Anyone wanting to see the 25 works of art must make an appointment, and be vetted in advance. It was unclear how long the exhibition would last, but the gallery website said that another artist was launching their own show on the site on November 18.

The New York City exhibition launched with little fanfare despite drawing in a crowd of celebrity guests at Hollywood's famous Milk studios on October 2.

Hunter himself also attended the event, where he and gallery manager Georges Bergès entertained around 200 people including his wife Melissa and two of his daughters, 27-year-old Naomi Biden and Maisy Biden, 20, world champion boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, musician Moby, and other fellow artists.

The day after the opening, the gallery reportedly only had three visitors.
