The German artist Wilhelm Haverkamp was trained as a sculptor in wood and stone at the academy in Berlin (1883-87). Two years after completing this study, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome, after which he traveled to the Italian capital, where he stayed until 1892. Haverkamp often depicted genre-like representations and mythological and religious themes in small sculptures.

Haverkamp was a professor at the educational institute of the applied arts museum in Berlin.
