William Sergeant Kendall - Psyche [1909]


William Sergeant Kendall (Spuyten, New York, 1869 - Hot Springs, Virginia, 1938) was an American painter, most famous for his paintings of children, his subjects often being his three young daughters with his wife. His life seems inconsistent with his art as his family life was full of turmoil, due to his romantic connection with his under-aged pupil, Christine Herter, whom he married following the dissolution of his first marriage in 1921.
