Summary:
Circle of Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven (Belgian, 1798–1881), ‘Shepherd with Sheep Flock, ’ painting depicting a pastoral landscape with a seated shepherd tending a flock of sheep, rams, and lambs beneath an expansive sky.

Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven, born in Warneton (Waasten) in 1798 and died in Brussels in 1881, is regarded as one of the foremost Belgian animal painters of the 19th century. His work frequently depicts sheep, cattle, horses, goats, game, and pastoral landscapes, often characterized by careful observation of the animals and warm, atmospheric light. In his book on Verboeckhoven, Berko described the artist as the ‘Raphael of sheep, ’ noting the distinctive character of his rams, ewes, and lambs. Verboeckhoven also painted small figures on foot and horseback with meticulous attention to detail.
