Philips Wouwerman

We are pleased to offer for acquisition an original oil painting attributed to Philips Wouwerman, one of the most prolific and sought-after painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Active in Haarlem during the mid-17th century, Wouwerman was celebrated in his lifetime and beyond for his meticulously rendered equestrian scenes, travelers, and rural landscapes.

This work captures a classic Wouwerman motif: a sandy road winding through a hilly countryside, populated with figures, a horse and rider, dogs, and rustic dwellings, all bathed in a cool northern light beneath a dramatic sky. These compositional elements are hallmarks of his mature style, blending narrative charm with refined technique.
