Sir Henry Hudson Kitson (April 9, 1863, 1864 or 1865 – June 26, 1947) was an English-American sculptor who sculpted many representations of American military heroes.
His knighthood was bestowed upon him by Romania's Queen Elisabeth after he sculpted a marble bust of her in the early 1900s. His student and first wife, Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson was a sculptor as well, and his brothers, John William Kitson, Samuel James Kitson, and Robert Lewellen Kitson, also had art careers in the United States.
He is perhaps best known in the U.S.
for his sculpture of the 'Minute Man' on Lexington Green, in Lexington, Massachusetts.
