Henderson, Dr.

American, active first half 19th century

Biography

Referred to only as "Dr. Henderson, father of Mrs. Ann Perkins, Perkins Hazelgroves' grandmother," Henderson purchased the Powhatan County estate of Bartholomew Trueheart sometime after the latter's death in 1834. The property was called "Selma," and with it Dr. Henderson purchased two paintings of fox-hunting scenes which had hung in the house. The pictures (now in the NGA) were commissioned by Trueheart around 1800 from an unknown itinerant artist, and depict the patron on his favorite horse. Henderson later gave the paintings to Martha Armistead, Trueheart's daughter; they were inherited by Martha's daughter Eliza and subsequently passed down in the family until they were sold in 1948.
