William Henry Howe (1846 in Ravenna, Ohio – 1929) was an American painter active in Bronxville. Howe was a student of Otto de Thoren and Vuillefroy. He first worked in Paris, where he painted scenes from the rustic life in Normandy. Howe was part of the Old Lyme Art Colony centered at Florence Griswold's boardinghouse in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Howe there played the role of the benign "Uncle," as the younger artists called him. * Early Start to Market, 1888, whereabouts unknown (stolen 1922 and never recovered) * Monarch of the Farm, c.1901, Smithsonian American Art Museum *
