(1819 - 1894)
Edmund Havell junior, genre and portrait painter, came from an artistic family: his father, Edmund Havell senior, had been a landscape painter, as was his uncle, William Havell. Edmund Havell junior was born in Reading, and lived there and in London. He exhibited work in London at the Royal Academy, British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1835 to 1895. He also produced lithographs, mainly of portraits. He is known to have visited the United States and exhibited work in Philadelphia. One of his most famous portrait commissions was of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, which today is in the collection of the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University, Waco, Texas.
