For Sale by Benton Fine Art
Description

Claude Cardon

British, (1864-1937)

Farm Friends

Oil on canvas, signed

Image size: 13.5 inches x 20.5 inches

A tranquil scene of calves and ducks at a river by Claude Cardon. A small herd of calves are shown taking rest under the shade of a tree by the side of a river. One of the calves can be seen looking out across the water towards a farm on the other side as ducks forage on the bank.

Claude Lorraine Clark known as Claude Cardon was born in 1864 to Samuel James Clark and his wife Maria Thornton. He was born into the Clark family of artists; his father, known as Samuel Joseph Clark (1841-1928), was a landscape and animal painter and his grandfather James Clark (1812-1884), was a well-known animal painter. The family lived in Islington and Claude was taught to paint by his father. Like other members of his family, he painted animals, specialising in rural farm scenes often depicting calves, chickens, pigs and sheep.

In 1888, he married Lottie Maud Whetstone and together they lived in Islington. By 1892, he had started using the pseudonym of Claude Cardon and began exhibiting at the Royal Academy under this name. He also exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and the Manchester City Art Gallery.

He moved to Camden in 1895 where he worked out of a studio until around 1911 when he decided to settle in Whitstable, Kent. He spent his final years in Kent where he died on 20 January 1937 at no. 79 Canterbury Road, Whitstable. Examples of his work can be found at Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery.

Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.

Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Pastoral animal paintings from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras typically depict domesticated livestock such as cattle, sheep, and ducks within naturalistic rural landscapes. These artworks emphasized tranquil country life, realistic animal anatomy, and the atmospheric interplay of light across fields and waterways.

Artists painted with oil-based pigments mixed with natural binder oils onto stretched linen or cotton canvas, occasionally using wooden panels. These paintings were customarily encased in heavy plaster and timber moulding frames coated in genuine gold leaf gilding.

Authentic paintings from this era exhibit age-related craquelure across the paint layer, visible canvas grain on the reverse, and aged wooden stretcher bars with oxidised hardware. Signatures applied into wet paint or consistent with known artist catalogues also assist in verifying authenticity.

Incorporate a gilt-framed artwork above a contemporary mantelpiece or floating sideboard to create contrast through historical texture. Pairing classic rural landscapes with minimalist or dark academic interiors highlights both the traditional craftsmanship and modern architectural lines.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and direct heat sources to prevent canvas warping and pigment degradation. Clean the gilded frame using only a dry, soft dusting brush, avoiding liquid cleaners which can dissolve historic water gilding or varnish layers.
