About the Item

This is our exceptional oil painting on mahogany panel of a work horse in barn by the Dutch master, Wouterus Verschuur I (1812-1874). Panel measures 9 by 13 inches and its period ogee frame with gillded lining and ebonized banding measures 19.25 by 23.75 inches. The artist's career began early at the age of 16 when he exhibited at the Tentoonstelling van Levende Meesters. Shortly thereafter he achieved golden medals at the Felix Meritis in the 1831 and 1832. He became a member of the Koninklijke Academie in Amsterdam in 1832, and in 1839 joined the Arti et Amicitae. The artist's style was rooted in the Dutch romantic style founded in the 17th century and best represented by the works of Philip Wouwerman (1619-1668), Pieter Gerardus Van Os (1776-1839) and Cornelis Steffelaar (1797-1861). Verschuur is known to have copied masterpieces by Wouwerman in fine detail, and is widely known and revered for his romantic and detailed portraits of genre scenes and animals, particularly horses. This painting would make a fine addition to any collection of 19th century Dutch masters.
