Henry Koehler Figurative Drawings and Watercolors
American, 1927-2018
One of the top sporting artists in the world, Henry Koehler was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He attended Yale University and his long association with the sporting life began soon after his graduation from Yale. His illustrations appeared in The New Yorker, Town & Country and Sports Illustrated. His first exhibition was in 1961 and since that time he has had 67 one-man A exhibitions in London, Paris, Dublin, Johannesburg and throughout the United States. Racing and hunting come alive under his brush. He also offers us a behind-the-scenes look at jockeys, horses, dogs and the special accoutrements of each sport. Among his collectors are prominent people from the political, social and sports arenas.
His works can be seen at the National Racing Museum in Saratoga and at the National Horse Racing Museum at Newmarket in Great Britain. Mr. Koehler lives in Southampton, New York. "He has painted several commission portraits of well-known thoroughbreds but prefers genre pieces depicting horse racing, polo, and hunting in the field with horses. He also does studies of jockey figures before and after their race.
An July-October 2003 exhibition, Elegant Impressions of Turf and Field, was held at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. " Source: Christie's New York, December 2003to

Concours de Chiens au Promenade by Otto Eerelman

Concours de Chiens au Promenade
Watercolor on paper
Signed “O. Eerelman 1904” (lower left)
A tour de force watercolor by celebrated Dutch artist Otto Eerelman, one of 19th-century Europe's most popular and important animal portraitists, this charming composition captures a bustling cross-section of fashionable elites walking their equally fashionable canine companions. Eerleman takes care to render the detailed attire of his subjects, complete with plumed hats and layers of lace trim. The artist paints the plethora of pets in equally painstaking detail, capturing the nuances of each different breed represented.
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. This energetic watercolor, with its profusion of color and texture, harnesses the affluence of its subjects and the leisurely whimsy of their luxurious lives.
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...
