Henry Schouten (1857-1927) - Haan met kippen

Henry Schouten (also listed as Henri Schouten) (Indonesia, about 1857 - Brussels, 1927) was a Belgian painter best known as an animal and landscape painter. He received his training at the Brussels Academy (1876-1881). He was strongly influenced by the animal painter Alfred Verwee. He was primarily a fluent naturalistic animal painter: cows, sheep, horses, poultry runs and animals in the courtyard. But he also painted peasants and shepherds in their surroundings, a hunter with dogs, a drinking horse-seller, or a milkmaid with a dog cart. He also painted a number of still lifes with flowers or game and fruit, or a still-life with fish and shrimp. He began exhibiting in Brussels with the Union des Arts from 1882.
