William Frank Calderon aka W. Frank Calderon (London 1865 – 21 April 1943), was a British painter of portraits, landscapes, figure subjects and sporting pictures. His 1936 book Animal Painting and Anatomy[3] is still considered a useful reference source.
I don’t know anything about him. I first saw this years ago and lost track of the name. I was scrolling through old files last night and found it.
It seems he did a lot of horsey stuff.
The horses look like farm horses which is a nice change. The gazehounds are a sign of a different world. I used to think all the figures were farmers or such but now I am not sure. It could be the usual toffs and servants scene.
A favorite country life image of mine.
