Henry Bernard Chalon is amongst the most prolific animal painters of the late 18th/early 19th century. He was born the son Johannes Chalon (1749-1795), a Dutch musician and artist from Amsterdam and of the daughter of Sir John Barnard (1722-1761), sometime Lord Mayor of London. Chalon was a pupil at the RA Schools, and married a sister of James Ward RA, though his abandoning of his wife caused a long enmity between the two artists. There is some similarity in the free brushwork of the two artists, which derives from the style of George Morland, James Ward's other wayward brother-in-law.
Chalon's success as an artist came early, and by 1795, aged 25, he was appointed as animal painter to the Duchess of York, and later to the Prince Regent and King William IV. Chalon enjoyed a very extensive patronage at the highest levels, and was a most prolific exhibitor at the Royal Academy, showing almost 200 paintings (including the present work) there during his career.

- Shepherd with Sheep, Cows and a Goat in a Landscape by Jan Frans SoolmakerLocated in Stockholm, SEThis painting depicts a pastoral scene that is attributed to the artist Jan Frans Soolmaker, an artist known for his Italianate landscapes and scenes that often feature equestrian and Arcadian elements. The painting is not signed but is attributed to Soolmaker, relating it to a known signed work by the artist that was sold at Sotheby’s London in 1999. The scene is suffused with the warm glow of a setting or rising sun, casting a soft light that is characteristic of Soolmaker’s landscapes. It shows a shepherd guiding a group of cattle across a shallow stream, with the animals taking center stage in the composition. The animals are rendered with careful attention to their forms and the play of light on their bodies, which is a hallmark of Soolmaker's work. The landscape is composed of a rocky terrain with trees and shrubbery, creating a sense of depth and natural beauty that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. The background suggests a vast, open landscape with distant mountains, which adds to the Italianate feel of the painting. The sky is dramatic, with clouds catching the light of the sun, contributing to the overall serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the work. The provenance of the painting is notable, having been in the possession of significant historical figures such as Swedish Prince Fredrik Adolf, and later The collection of Pär Ulmgren, The collection of Gösta Stenman, and Engineer and politician Gustaf Henry Hansson. Potential buyers have the option of choosing between a newly made gold frame or an older brown frame, which allows for personalization in how the work is presented. Soolmaker’s work is often compared to that of Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, whose style he emulated. Soolmaker's landscapes reflect a similar sensitivity to light and composition, making his works sought after for their beauty and historical significance. Despite the smaller body of work left by Soolmaker, due to his short career, his paintings are valued for their craftsmanship and the legacy of the artist’s brief but impactful contribution to the Dutch Italianate landscape genre.
