Knute Heldner (Swedish/Louisiana, 1877-1952), "Chalmette Mansion (Malus-Beauregard House)," oil on canvas, signed lower right, "Muskegon Museum of Art, Michigan" label with artist and title, and typed artist biography en verso, 24 in. x 30 in., framed with brass title plaque.
Note: The Malus-Beauregard House, also known as the Rene Beauregard House or the Chalmette Mansion, is located on land that was originally part of Chalmette Plantation, approximately six miles east of the French Quarter. Before the classical-style house was built in 1832, the land, now known as the Chalmette Battlefield, was the site of the Battle of New Orleans; in 1815, Andrew Jackson and his troops successfully thwarted the British attempt to capture the city.
In this painting, Heldner has romantically depicted Chalmette Mansion as it would have appeared when it was first built in the 1830s, including a man with a top hat and walking stick and women in full skirts and bonnets.
