Henry Koehler, 1927-2018, was a world-renowned sporting artist with a particular passion for animals – especially equestrian field sports and dogs. Born in Kentucky and a 1950 graduate of Yale College, he eventually made his home in Southampton, New York. Patrons included members of the British Royal Family - HRH The Prince of Wales and Prince Edward and Wallace Simpson, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - as well as Ralph Lauren and Nina Campbell. After seeing his painting of a sailing regatta on the cover of a 1960 issue of Sports Illustrated, Jacqueline Kennedy commissioned him for a painting of her husband, John F. Kennedy.
