Fox Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1800s.
A delightful landscape painted on an oak panel, unsigned and dating from around 1800.
It is reminiscent of the work of the 17th century Dutch artist Philips Wouwerman.
Philips Wouwerman was celebrated for his paintings of hunting parties, battles and travellers on the road. Horses were a key element of his compositions and a white horse, such as the one depicted was his signature trade mark.
Born in Haarlem, the son of the painter Paulus Wouwerman, he was probably trained by his father and by Frans Hals. Wouwerman became a member of the Haarlem painters' guild in 1640 and his earliest dated paintings are of 1646.
Condition
Paint a little thin in places, age associated wear and the oak panel has split and been repaired in the distant past. The frame is probably original and has minor repairs.
