Col. Michael Friedsam (1860–1931) was an American philanthropist of New York City. Friedsam was the former president of B. Altman and Company and one of the premier art collectors in America at that time. Friedsam never married and left a fortune to the city of New York. A large part of his collection was bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and another part to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Today the Brooklyn museum would like to divest some of the works but are restricted by the bequest. The list of paintings from the MET bequest still in the collection are:
