À propos du tableau
Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven (1798-1881) was taught at first by his father, the sculptor Barthélemy Verboeckhoven, before attending the Ghent Academy where he was a pupil of the landscape painter Balthasar-Paul Ommeganck (1755-1826). He moved to Brussels in 1827, where he became director of the Musée de Bruxelles and later a teacher at the Académie Royale. He had many pupils among whom Louis-Pierre Verwée (1807-1877), the brothers Charles (1815-1894) and Edmond Tschaggeny (1818-1873). He also painted staffage for other painters' landscapes such as Jean-Baptiste De Jonghe (1785-1844), Henri van Assche (1774-1841), Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803-1862) and Louis-Pierre Verwée. He was also a prolific engraver.

This painting is a good example of Verboeckhoven's classical landscapes, a category in which he specialised soon under the influence of his master Balthasar-Paul Ommeganck. The present painting, showing a cottage on the left hand-side with a woman holding a jug, a man astride and another standing beside him with cattle and other farm animals around, is strongly reminiscent of the 17th-century imagery, which is consider the golden age of landscape and genre painting in the Netherlands.
