Christina Chalon

Portrait of Christine by her brother Jan Chalon

Christina Chalon (17481808) was a Dutch artist.

She was born in Amsterdam, 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 Hazerswoude in 1808 and was burried in Leiden. Her etchings are marked with Chra Cha., or Chra Chal., or else CC. Amongst the best may be noticed:
