Christina Chalon
Christina Chalon was born in Amsterdam in 1748, and studied painting under Sara Troost and Ploos van Amstel. She, however, devoted herself more particularly to etching, in which she acquired great proficiency. She has left us some thirty plates, for the most part in the style of Ostade. She died at Leyden in 1808. Her etchings are marked with Chra Cha., or Chra Chal., or else CC. Amongst the best may be noticed:
- An Interior, with three Boors.
- A Mother taking three children to School.
- An Old Woman saluting a peasant Boy.
