On offer is a 19th century watercolour and bodycolour landscape by British artist George Shalders (1826–1873), known for his pastoral scenes featuring sheep and rural labour. Shalders was a respected watercolourist of the Victorian period, exhibiting from 1848 and later elected to the Institute of Painters in Water-Colours.
This finely rendered composition shows a farmer tending sheep within a tranquil countryside setting, signed and dated by the artist. The painting measures approximately 19.5 × 8.5 inches, with a framed size of 27 × 16 inches. Condition is good for age, with bright colour; a faint scorch or foxing line appears above the treeline, more visible from the reverse. The piece was reframed in 1982, with some wear and watermarks to the mount.

A strong example of Shalders’ rural work and a desirable piece of 19th-century British landscape painting.
