This is a lovely early 19th century oil painting of a heifer in the byre from the circle of John Boultbee (Artist) (1753-1812). The painting is in excellent condition, on board, cleaned and restored with a very good rich colour and character. The work is very well observed, with nice detail showing tipped horns to the animal and the tethering chain around the beasts neck.

John Boultbee was an English painter of equestrian and other sporting subjects. He was born in Osgathorpe, Leicestershire on 4 June 1753 and died in Liverpool on 30 November 1812. He had a twin brother Thomas (1753–1808) who was also a painter. They both entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1775 during the period of the presidency of Sir Joshua Reynolds exhibiting in London, including at the John Boultbee exhibited six paintings at the Royal Academy The first in 1776 (A landscape) and the last two in 1788 (Portrait of Horses and Portrait of a favourite horse of Mr Bakewell).

John Boultbee was greatly admired by George III who commissioned several horse-portraits by him and assigned him a residence in Windsor Great Park so that he might carry out his painting duties more conveniently. Boultbee was influenced by the work of George Stubbs and Sawrey Gilpin. Later in life he lived and worked in Derby Leicestershire, Chester and finally Liverpool where he died in 1812.
