For 15 year-old Peter Rindisbacher, his parents' decision to emigrate from Switzerland to Canada in 1821 must have seemed an awfully big adventure. Landing at Hudson Bay the family made the gruelling journey to the Red River Settlement in Winnipeg where they set up home. Despite his youth, Peter was already a trained artist and he continued to paint in his adopted country producing depictions of his remarkable voyage and life in North America. One of his finest works - A Gentleman Travelling in a Dog Cariole in Hudson's Bay with an Indian Guide - is offered at Bonhams Travel and Exploration sale in London on Tuesday 14 September. Executed in 1824 when Rindisbacher was only 18, the work is estimated at £50,000-80,000.
Bonhams picture specialist at Knightsbridge Leo Webster said: "These remarkable painters have, in their different ways, left an invaluable portrait of life in Canada during the early part of the 19th century. Rindisbacher's depictions of the culture of Canada's Native American population were in great demand during his brief lifetime and are increasingly sought after today. Pope, by contrast, never offered his work for sale and his drawings and watercolours were made for his own interest. The fact, however, that he is known as the Canadian Audubon, in reference to his revered contemporary the American naturalist and painter John James Audubon, speaks volumes about the quality of his eye. We are expecting a lot of interest in the work of both these artists"
