Newfoundland with a Kitten
Oil on canvas
Signed “O. Eerelman” (lower right)
This monumental painting is by the celebrated Dutch artist Otto Eerelman, one of 19th-century Europe's most popular and important animal portraitists. A triumph of the genre, Newfoundland with a Kitten showcases two of Eerelman's favored subjects: large-breed dogs and a meticulously executed Dutch interior. Impeccably painted, the work possesses the precise detailing and depth of character that are the quintessential components of Eerelman’s output.
In this heartwarming composition, a majestic Newfoundland rests in a lavishly decorated room—complete with a luxurious carpet and silk-covered table—with a snoozing kitten beside him in a moment of unlikely friendship. Eerelman mastered the art of depicting not only the dogs’ physical characteristics but also their unique expressions and personalities. His wealthy clientele would bring their pets to his home in The Hague where they would live for a period of time while having their portraits done, allowing for a remarkably true-to-life portrayal. The narrative is simple yet profound, embodying both the elegance and emotional depth for which Eerelman became so famous.
Hailing from Groningen, Netherlands, Eerelman was dubbed the “Northern Rembrandt” during his lifetime. He received his artistic training at the Academy Minerva in Groningen, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and then private lessons in the studio of the great Lawrence Alma-Tadema. He successfully captured the attention of the Dutch court, particularly Princess Wilhelmina, with his meticulous approach to endearing subjects. His artistic contributions were so great, and his work was so valued in the Netherlands, that he was knighted at the age of 80. Eerelman’s paintings have long been coveted on the market for their inherent charm. Other examples of his dog portraits can be found in the Rijksmuseum, and in 2015, a major retrospective of his work was held at the Museum Nienoord in Leek, Netherlands.

Otto Eerelman
Otto Eerelman (Groningen, March 23, 1839 – Groningen, October 3, 1926) was a painter, etcher and lithographer who is best known for his realistic sketches and paintings of dogs and horses. As a court painter, he also produced various portraits of Princess Wilhelmina in her early years and later as Queen. In addition to the various paintings that Eerelman made for the royal family, such as a portrait of the nurse Evertje Schouten, a painting of eight-year-old Wilhelmina dressed in a white Amazonian suit and depicted with her pony "Baby" (perhaps best known for the depicted Oranjes ), some other works have also become known to a wide audience.

Description:
Eugene Alexis Girardet (1853-1907) was a prominent Swiss painter known for his remarkable attention to detail and his ability to capture vivid and dynamic scenes. Born in Paris, France, Girardet came from a family of artists and received early artistic training from his father, Paul Girardet, and his uncle, Jules Girardet, both respected engravers. He later studied at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he honed his skills and developed a deep appreciation for historical and orientalist subjects.

One of his most renowned paintings, “The Charge,” exemplifies his exceptional talent and his ability to create a captivating and immersive experience for viewers.

In 1954, Fulton joined the U.S. Army and continued and continued painting and bullfighting on his downtime. After his release in 1956, he moved to Spain where he studied bullfighting under Juan Belmonte and performed as a novillero (novice) with some of Spain’s leading matadors. In July 1963, Fulton was sponsored by José María Montilla to take his 'alternativa' at the Plaza de toros...
