A native of Alkmaar, Holland, Hendrick-Dirk Kruseman van Elten was a landscape painter who lived primarily in New York City. As a young man he studied landscape painting in Haarlem with Cornelis Lieste, then traveled in Holland, Germany, France and Belgium before coming to the United States in 1865.
Kruseman van Elten's meticulously rendered paintings were exhibited from 1866 until 1900 at the National Academy of Design. He was named an Associate at the institution in 1871 and an Academician in 1883. Many of his subjects are scenes in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, where he kept a summer home in the Catskill colony at Ellenville.
