Attributed to Aelbert Cuyp
Albert, Aelbert or Aelbrecht Jacobsz. Cuyp (Dordrecht, October 20, 1620, buried November 15, 1691), was a painter of landscapes, seascapes, animals, still lifes, and a Dutch portrait painter (United Provinces) of the Golden Age, from a illustrious lineage of artists active in Dordrecht.
Our painting is a horseman's halt, a common scene at the time in Holland, Wouwerman is the perfect representative.
His numerous travels are conducive to the creation of this type of painting.
The horse, the first character, takes up practically the entire space of the painting, the characters being secondary.
It should be noted that the table is made of two boards, held by two perfectly adjusted keys, very beautiful work.
The gilded wooden frame is period.
