Henry Schouten
19th century romantic oil - Loving horses in a countryside hay harvest landscape

About the Item

"Loving horses in a countryside hay harvest landscape" signed P. Laruche, which appears to be a pseudonym used by Henry Schouten This peaceful painting two loving horses in a sun-lit countryside landscape. The horses, tenderly place their heads against each other, whilst the farmers are working together to harvest the hay, emphasising the beauty of connection and love within a close-knit family unit, both between humans and animals. Henry Schouten was born in Indonesia in 1857, and studied at the Academy in Brussels from 1876 until 1881. A year later he started exhibiting in Brussels with the Union des Arts. An expert animal painter, he usually chose to depicts the animals in their homes or everyday environment and acting in a very natural way. The oil on canvas measures ca. 65 by 55 cms and with the period gilt frame ca. 80 by 72 cms. Provenance: Private Collection Late 19th / early 20th century. Signed lower right.

Dimensions incl. frame: approx. 50 x 45,5 cm. Depcited is a boy busy fleaing a dog. The boy sits on a chair with the dog on his lap. On a table on the right there is a book and a pen. On a wooden bench lies the boy's hat. What is unique about this painting by Ter Borch, is the relationship that is depicted between human and animal. Mostly animals like dogs where depicted as an attribute in paintings in the 17th century, and sometimes used to symbolize certain character traits.
