Provenance
Private collection, UK.

It is possible that the central group of animals and figures in the present lot were painted by Eugène Verboeckhoven (1798-1881), although in most known examples, both artist's signatures are present.

The two artists collaborated on a number of compositions from the 1860s, Klombeck continuing in the tradition of co-operation started by his master, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek. As Herman De Vilder and Kris Van de Ven note, many Dutch and Belgian artists, visiting Verboeckhoven's studio, 'immediately noticed his great virtuosity in drawing and painting sheep, horses and cattle... and they hired the skilful master to decorate their nature scenes'1

1Herman De Vilder & Kris Van de Ven, Eugene-Joseph Verboeckhoven 1798-1881), 2006, pp. 281-282; see also pp. 340-343 for illustrations of collaborations between Klombeck and Verboeckhoven.
