William Sergeant Kendall 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. His works hang in such places as Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He also was the Dean of the School of Fine Arts at Yale from 1913 to 1922.
