Russian, 1828–1902
Nicholas Chevalier (1828–1902) was born in St Petersburg to a Russian mother and became an artist active in Australia and New Zealand. He joined Georg von Neumayer on expeditions in Victoria, producing notable works such as a painting of Mount Arapiles. Chevalier also created designs for Lady Barkly, including a dress and a lyrebird-themed fan, and collaborated with her on a gift for the Princess of Wales. His art is held in several major public collections, and Mount Chevalier in New Zealand was named after him.
