Shrimp Fishing - C. de Busschere

Oil on wood panel - late 19th early 20th century - signed work: 30.5cm X 25cm - frame: 36.5cm X 31cm scene depicted: the horse is at the center of the composition and immediately attracts attention, symbolizing the close relationship between man and animal. Artistic style: the use of earthy and dark colors, as well as the treatment of forms, indicates a realistic style that could be dated to the late 19th or early 20th century. The touch of paint seems quite marked, with visible brushstrokes, creating an interesting texture in the rendering of light and shadow. Constant (eugene) de busschere (belgian, 1876 – 1951).
