Eugène VERBOECKHOVEN (Warneton 1798 - Schaerbeek 1881) and Hilaire KREINS (Luxembourg 1806 - Brussels 1862) Landscape with deer Parquet panel 47.5 x 63 cm Signed and dated lower left "HKreins & E. Verboeckhoven / 1858". There are few known paintings by Hilaire Antoine Kreins, listed as a draftsman, lithographer and engraver. He drew landscapes for the Belgian newspaper "L'Artiste" in the 1840s. He collaborated with Jean-Baptiste Madou. Our painting attests to his presence with Verboeckhoven in 1858. Verboeckhoven opened his studio in Brussels in the 1830s and set up a system of collaboration between his fellow artists. The RKD lists a painting similar to ours (under the permalink https://rkd.nl/imageslite/3853853).
