Havemeyer, Louisine Waldron Elder
New York art collectors Louisine Waldron Elder (1855-1929) and Henry (Harry) Osborne Havemeyer (1847-1907) assembled a large and diverse collection of paintings, sculpture and decorative art between 1876 and 1924. The collection gained notoriety early on for Harrys purchase of eight Rembrandt portraits in rapid succession, but the Havemeyers most enduring legacy as American collectors was their pioneering pursuit of Impressionist and Spanish paintings.
