Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting depicts a group of sheep in a landscape. In the centre foreground is a ewe with a small lamb curled up beside her, behind them are several other sheep and lambs, while on the left is seated a rather bored looking shepherd with a crook, watching over his herd. Van Leemputten specialised in scenes like this, based largely upon the art of successful Belgian painter Eugene Verboeckhoven, who was so well known that he could effectively charge 'by the sheep'. A 'poor man's Verboeckhoven', it is unlikely that Leemputten could get the F200 per sheep his rival was getting. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure (shepherd); animal (sheep) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Leemputten, Cornelis van (Belgian painter 1841-1902) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8694... | Go to resource |
