"A Sportsman Loading a Flintlock Gun with Two Retrievers and a Dead Pheasant in a Landscape" is an oil painting by the English artist Benjamin Marshall (1768–1835), known for his specialization in sporting and animal subjects. The painting dates from the early 19th century, a period when sporting art was gaining popularity among the British gentry and aristocracy, reflecting their leisure pursuits and interests in rural life and field sports.

The artwork depicts a genteel sportsman in the act of loading his flintlock shotgun, a firearm technology that was prevalent before the advent of percussion caps. Accompanying the sportsman are two retriever dogs, breeds that are historically associated with game hunting and known for their ability to retrieve shot game without damage. The presence of a dead pheasant at the sportsman's feet further emphasizes the hunting theme and showcases Marshall's attention to detail and his ability to capture the nuances of rural sporting life.

Set against a bucolic landscape, the composition of the painting is typical of Marshall's work, which often features figures in the countryside engaged in hunting scenes. The artist's skill in rendering the textures of the natural environment, the animals, and the attire of the sportsman is evident and contributes to the overall realism and vitality of the scene.
