"A Gentleman With A Newspaper And Landscape And A Lady With A Book, Painted Chest And Bowl Of Fruit: A Pair Of Portraits Of Mr. And Mrs. John Calhoun Of Chicago" is a notable work by the American folk artist Sheldon Peck. Painted in the mid-19th century, this pair of portraits exemplifies Peck's distinctive style and his contribution to American folk art. Sheldon Peck (1797–1868) was a self-taught artist known for his portraits that often depicted middle-class Americans in a straightforward and unembellished manner. His works are characterized by their attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the insightful portrayal of his subjects' personalities.

The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. John Calhoun of Chicago are particularly significant as they capture the essence of mid-19th century American life. In "A Gentleman With A Newspaper And Landscape," Mr. John Calhoun is depicted holding a newspaper, a symbol of his engagement with contemporary events and intellectual pursuits. The inclusion of a landscape in the background adds depth to the composition and situates the subject within a broader context. On the other hand, "A Lady With A Book, Painted Chest And Bowl Of Fruit" portrays Mrs. John Calhoun with a book, indicating her literacy and perhaps her interest in literature or education. The painted chest and bowl of fruit are elements that reflect domestic life and the importance of home and family.

These portraits are not only valuable for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. They provide a glimpse into the lives of a 19th-century American couple, offering insights into their social status, interests, and the cultural milieu of the time. Sheldon Peck's ability to convey the individuality and character of his subjects makes these portraits enduring works of art. Today, they are appreciated not only for their aesthetic qualities but also for their contribution to the understanding of American social history and the development of folk art in the United States.
