Son of doctor and music lover Charles Thomas Haden. He was educated
in London and in Paris, where he took a degree in 1840. In 1842
he became a member of the College of Surgeons in London. As a surgeon, Francis Seymour Haden ran a large practice London, first in Sloan Street and later in Hertford Street, Mayfair. As an etcher he mostly created landscapes. In 1847 he married Dasha Whistler, the half-sister of the artist Whistler. They had three sons and a daughter. Around 1855 he collaborated with Whistler on a series of etchings of the Thames, but Whistler was jealous of Haden and in 1867 they had a fight in a café in Paris. They never spoke to each other afterwards. Haden became a member of the Institut de France, the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the Société des Artistes Français. In 1894 he was knighted.
