Verdussen Jan Peeter – Hunting Departure – Oil On Canvas – Signed

The scene depicts a hunting party in front of a castle. In the foreground, a group of riders, grooms and horses, very dynamic and as if caught in the moment. Further away, other riders are busy, while several people are sitting in the grass or on the bridge. In the background, the massive silhouette of a castle can be seen, with a tiled roof. The whole is placed in front of a sky animated by clouds.
The work, small in size and therefore easy to place in a room, is teeming with very lively details. It is signed at the bottom right.
Condition: Work in very good condition, clean. It is offered in a large wooden and stucco frame, dating from the first half of the 19th century. This frame has some old restorations and some traces of wear.
