About the Item
This orginal oil painting entitled "Herd of Elephants" measures 20x35.5 unframed. It is finished with a white-washed rustic frame with a silver inlay. An elephant herd travels through the African plains to a muddy watering hole for the afternoon. With a deep fondness for Africa’s elephants, many of David’s most iconic paintings are of the world’s largest land mammal including the much loved ‘The Ivory is Theirs’ and ‘Wise Old Elephant’. In 2014 David painted an elephant onto one of his well-used paint palettes for DSWF’s 30th Anniversary black-tie dinner raising £50,000 for conservation projects in Africa and Asia.
David Shepherd dedicated 60 years of his life to protecting endangered wildlife, using his exceptional artwork to raise funds and awareness for conservation protection across Africa and Asia. Wildlife art is still very much at the heart of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) under the banner of The Art of Survival. In 2008, DSWF founded Wildlife Artist of the Year, an annual world-renowned competition and exhibition which has become a significant date in the art calendar. David’s daughter, Mandy Shepherd, and his granddaughter, Emily Lamb, are both professional wildlife artists and DSWF Art Ambassadors who use their artworks to create awareness and raise funds for conservation. The sale of artworks from DSWF goes to protecting the endangered species that we work to protect, namely elephants, tigers, pangolins, snow leopards, painted dogs, lions, chimpanzees, and rhinos.

- Chestnut Racehorse with a Jockey Up On a Training StrapBy Henry H. CrossLocated in New York, NYIt was Henry Cross's portraits of horses belonging to the prominent breeders and trainers of the second half of the nineteenth century that won the artist renown as an animal painter. Born and raised in upstate New York, Cross's proficiency in both drafting and caricature was revealed while he was still a student at the Binghamton Academy, New York. In 1852, when he was only fifteen years old, Cross joined a traveling circus that took him to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and to the first of many Indian encampments that he would draw upon for subject matter throughout his career. Biographers differ as to the year Cross left for Europe, however, he was in Paris from 1852 to 1853 or 1854, where he studied with Rosa Bonheur, a highly esteemed French painter of horses. Upon Cross's return to the United States he was commissioned to paint the studs of wealthy horsemen, including those of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, Robert Bonner, the owner-publisher of The New York Ledger, and "Copper King" Marcus Daly, whose 18,000 acre stock farm was reputed to be the greatest and most valuable horse ranch in the world. Although Cross received the highest pay of any equine artist of his day (up to $35,000. for one order, according to The Horse Review of April 10, 1918, p. 328), he frequently joined traveling circuses and painted the locales where they visited. He also painted portraits of notable contemporaries, such as President Abraham Lincoln, ex-president Ulysses S. Grant, King Edward VII of England, W. F. "Buffalo Bill...Category
