Paul H. Schouten (1860-1922) - Barbizon School Oil - "Shepherdess with her Flock"
An accomplished genre painting by Paul Henry Schouten (1860-1922) depicting a peasant woman standing near the doorway of a sheltered barn, whilst overseeing a small flock of ewes and lambs gathered in the foreground. The arrangement draws the eye naturally from the dark doorway behind the figure down through the flock toward the viewer. Schouten demonstrates confident, loose brushwork particularly in the rendering of the sheep's woolly coats. The composition is well presented in a lely panel frame with foliate ornamentation at the corners. Signed to the lower right. On panel.
