The Painting
A late 19th century oil painting by Belgian artist Henry Schouten (1864-1927). The scene depicts two work horses in the wilderness. One of the horses is drinking water from a paddle in the foreground.
In the background civilization is evident: A group of shepherds with cows in the meadow is visible. The natural colors compliment the realistic image and soft brushstrokes of Schouten’s work.
Signed lower right “Henry Schouten”.
Very good condition, some minor wear consistent with age.
