A Loyal Friend in the Horse Stable (date unknown)
(oil on panel, 7.5" x 9.4")
by
Wouterus Verschuur
Verschuur (1812-1874) was a Dutch painter, quite successful both critically and financially, noted primarily for his animal ¯ particularly equestrian — paintings and natural scenes. He painted several works featuring Newfoundlands.
No question about it — this horse's loyal friend is a Landseer Newfoundland.
