Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr. (1862–1932) was a titan of late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century photography, a lifelong resident of Yonkers, New York, and an early advocate and founder/commissioner for the Hudson River Museum. As a leading pictorialist described as the most versatile of his time, Eickemeyer believed that photographs were works of art, creating straightforward yet artistic images using natural elements rather than relying on soft-focus or heavy darkroom manipulation. He achieved widespread acclaim for his picturesque landscapes and his iconic portraits of high-society figures, performers, and prominent models—most famously his 1901 portrait series of Evelyn Nesbit, which included Tired Butterfly.
