Verboeckhoven, Eugène
Verboeckhoven, Eugène
VERBOECKHOVEN, Eugène The stallion. Ca. 1850 Drawing, black chalk, heightened with white, 27,5 x 37 cm, brown paper, unsigned. In original wooden frame. One of Verboeckhoven's (1798-1881) favourite subjects were farm animals of the Flemish countryside. He was an excellent painter of animals and, together with his pupils, appears to have been the last link to a secular tradition with its roots deep in the 17th century, which linked observation of nature, studied composition, and idealized reproduction of reality. The work was sold as Verbroeckhoven at the renowned Galerie Georges Giroux (old sales label on verso).
