Cattle in a pasture

Please compare to a painting with a similar composition painted in 1850 (see: Norbert Hostyn, P. and V. Berko, Eugène Verboeckhoven, Brussels, 1981, p. 127). Verboeckhoven made several versions of the same composition in different sizes and with small variations in different periods of his lifetime.

We wish to thank Mr. Kris van de Ven for his kind assistance in cataloguing the present lot on the basis of a colour photograph.
