About the Item

"Portrait of the Head of a Calf" dated 1882 Henry Schouten (Belgian, 1857-1929) Oil on canvas Inscribed "P.H. Schouten (18)82" 23 x 20 1/2 (28 3/8 x 25 1/4 frame) inches Painted by the celebrated animal painter, Henry Schouten, this portrait is sensitively executed with beautiful brushwork and a luminous quality. The frame is superb and original to the painting. Though highly sought after, finding these studied portraiture of individual animals is very challenging. Born in 1864 in Indonesia, Schouten went on to study art at the Academy of Brussels from 1876-1881. His works were strongly influenced by rustic landscapes of the painter Alfred Jacques Verwee, who was also a renowned painter of animals. During Schouten’s career, he often signed his paintings with a variety of pseudonyms including Jos Klaus, Joseph Klass, V. Marinus, and J. Remis. Schouten worked in both Holland and Belgium and he died in Brussels, Belgium in 1927. Schouten participated in several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the John Davies Gallery, Morten-in-Marsh, U. K., and at the Union of Arts and in Brussels in 1882. In 1943 a posthumous retrospective of his work was held in the Hague.

By Jenness Cortez
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
This rare original equine painting by renown artist, Jenness Cortez, features a stately portrait of legendary racehorse Secretariat standing in the lush verdant grass at Claiborne Farm. Bathing in the warmth of an afternoon sun, Secretariat's copper-colored beauty is captured perfectly. Titled, “Secretariat as a Stallion Claiborne Farm”, this beautiful oil painting measures 18.5 x 24.5 and is framed in an ornate gold frame, finished with a commemorative plaque.
