Harry Humphrey Moore

Harry Humphrey Moore (21 July 1844, New York City - 2 January 1926, Paris) was an American painter; best known for his works depicting Japan, Spain and North Africa.

George Humphrey Moore, was a shipbuilder and a descendant of Ozias Humphry, an English painter of portrait miniatures.

In 1872, he married Isabella de Cistué y Nieto, from a prominent military family in Zaragoza, who knew sign-language because she had a childhood friend who was deaf.

It was there he met Katherine Birdsall Johnson (1834-1893), a philanthropist and art collector, who invited him and his wife to accompany her on a trip to Japan in 1880.

He spent most of his later career painting portraits of children, wealthy Americans and members of the European nobility.
