    AERT SCHOUMAN (NETHERLANDS / DUTCH 1710 - 1792) - Portrait

    Est: -

    technique: oil on panel | 37.5 × 28.5 cm | signature: unsigned (inscription on the back) | framed Lot information Aert Schouman (1710–1792) was a prominent Dutch painter, engraver and collector who was born in Dordrecht, where he apprenticed with Adriaen van der Burg. After gaining independence in 1733, he became one of the most versatile artists of his time, working mainly in his hometown and in The Hague, where he became a leading figure in the Confrerie Pictura guild. He became famous primarily as a master of watercolor, specializing in exotic fauna and flora, which he studied in aristocratic menageries, especially for Prince William V of Orange. In addition to natural science illustrations, he excelled in the creation of decorative murals, portraits and unique dot engravings on glass. Despite his great wealth and influence, he remained single and devoted himself to teaching a new generation of artists until his death in The Hague at the age of 82. He left behind an extensive body of work that is valued today for its perfect combination of scientific precision and Baroque elegance.

    May. 02, 2026

    AERT SCHOUMAN ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR OF A BEAVER - THE REASON THE AMERICAN WEST WAS EXPLORED

    Est: $7,000 - $10,000

    SCHOUMAN, Aert (Dutch, 1710-1792). Beaver. Watercolor over traces of black chalk, within remains of black ink framing lines. 10" x 14 1/4" sheet, 21 1/2" x 27 1/2" framed. The Reason that the American West Was Explored. This is the Eurasian beaver variety characterized by a lighter fur color and pointer snout. Fur was a sign of wealth in Dutch culture, so it was widely used in clothing manufacture, especially hat-making. In the 17th century, French, British, and Dutch traders and Native American trappers began supplying North-American beaver fur to the European clothing market. European beavers fed this market until about 1600, when overhunting severely reduced native populations. A native beaver may have been seen as quite rare for a collector of exotics.

    AERT SCHOUMAN WATERCOLOR OF A TURKEY STARTLING CHICKENS

    Est: $8,000 - $12,000

    SHOUMAN, Aert (Dutch, 1710-1792). A Turkey Startling Chickens. Black chalk, watercolor, pen and ink. Signed verso: "A Schouman na Hondecoeter". ca. 1775. 8 3/4" x 6 13/16" sheet, 16" x 13 1/2" framed. Schouman’s notes on the verso indicate he based his work on a composition by Melchoir d’Hondecoeter. ------ Aert Schouman was a prolific artist who specialized in flower painting and engraving on glass, but was foremost in the art of natural history painting. After training with F. Greenwood and Adriaen van den Burg, he became a master painter at The Hague in 1748, and three years later regent of the art academy. By 1762 he had been appointed principal of the academy and included among his pupils the great Dutch flower painter Jan van Os. Schouman was fortunate to receive royal patronage and completed many works for Prince Willem V at the summer palace of Het Loo, at Apeldoorn. The Prince owned a zoological cabinet and a menagerie which contained mammals, snakes and birds from various parts of the world. Although newly arrived exotic birds were popularly depicted, the favorite bird subjects in the eighteenth century were still live domestic poultry, followed by dead partridges. Among the domestic birds, new breeds were being developed and pyle, hamburg and bantam cocks began to appear. Hens with their chickens were very popular, although the young of most every other species (with the exception of ducklings and goslings) were ignored. Between 1765 and 1768, Schouman was employed in the pictorial recording of the animals at Willem V’s palace at Het Loo. Over one hundred drawings by him can be found in one of the few surviving complete recueils, the Vogel Broeck (the Bird Book). Moreover, Schouman’s depictions of the animals housed in the royal menagerie, along with those of Simon Fokke, formed the core of thirty-four treatises on foreign animals, published between 1767 and 1787 by Arnout Vosmaer. Their illustrations were accompanied by descriptions written by Peter Simon Pallas. In these beautiful watercolors the full range of Schouman’s skill is spectacularly shown. He forges a remarkable synthesis between a concern for scientific truth and the decorative and exotic aspects of natural history that were highly prized by royal and private clients. In his ornithological presentations, Schouman places the bird in a setting that provides an impression of scale.

    Aert Schouman (Dordrecht, 1710 - 1792, The Hague), Dutch School, An over door of a pheasant and a kingfisher in a landscape

    Est: £5,000 - £8,000

    Aert Schouman (Dordrecht, 1710 - 1792, The Hague) Dutch School An over door of a pheasant and a kingfisher in a landscape Oil on canvas Aert Schouman started his painting career as a pupil of Adriaan van der Burg to whom he was apprenticed for eight years. He came from the town of Dordrecht and was head of the Guild there from 1742 until his death. However, he moved to The Hague in 1748 becoming regent of the Drawing School there in 1751 and it is here that he really spent the majority of his working life. He is known to have been in Middelburg in 1761 and in Great Britain in 1765. His founding of the 'Confrerie' in The Hague (of which he was headman from 1752 - 62) encouraged a blossoming art scene in both Dordrecht and his adoptive city.  Schouman specialised in pictures of birds in the manner of Hondecoeter and Weenix but with more flamboyant (and typically 18th Century) colouring and composition. But he was also a prodigious talent in many other areas such as glass engraving and printmaking, as well as a collector and dealer. His most celebrated works of this type are his depictions of scenes from Ovid's Metamorphosis. His thriving studio produced a number of talented Dordrecht painters and his pupils included Joris Ponse, Jan van Os, Jacobus Vonck, and Martinus Schouman.

    Schouman Original Watercolor, A Sleeping Dog

    Est: $2,000 - $4,000

    SCHOUMAN, Aert (Dutch, 1710-1792). A Sleeping Dog. Black chalk, watercolor, pen and brown ink framing lines. Inscribed verso: "een Slaphende hund na’t leven geteekent in een. . . klyne. . ./bij den haag. A.J." 7 5/8" x 5 7/8" sheet. Provenance: Property of a European family trust. --------- Aert Schouman was a prolific artist who specialized in flower painting and engraving on glass but was foremost in natural history painting. After training with F. Greenwood and Adriaen van den Burg, he became a master painter at The Hague in 1748, and three years later regent of the art academy. By 1762 he had been appointed principal of the academy and included among his pupils the great Dutch flower painter Jan van Os. Schouman was fortunate to receive royal patronage and completed many works for Prince Willem V at the summer palace of Het Loo, at Apeldoorn. The Prince owned a zoological cabinet and a menagerie that contained mammals, snakes, and birds from various parts of the world. Although newly arrived exotic birds were popularly depicted, the eighteenth century’s favorite bird subjects were still live domestic poultry, followed by dead partridges. New breeds were being developed among the domestic birds and pyle, hamburg and bantam cocks began to appear. Hens with their chickens were very popular, although the young of most every other species (with the exception of ducklings and goslings) were ignored. Between 1765 and 1768, Schouman was employed in the animals’ pictorial recording at Willem V’s palace at Het Loo. Over one hundred drawings by him can be found in one of the few surviving complete recueils, the Vogel Broeck (the Bird Book). Moreover, Schouman’s depictions of the animals housed in the royal menagerie and those of Simon Fokke formed the core of thirty-four treatises on foreign animals, published between 1767 and 1787 by Arnout Vosmaer. Descriptions written by Peter Simon Pallas accompanied their illustrations. In these beautiful watercolors, the full range of Schouman’s skill is spectacularly shown. He forges a remarkable synthesis between a concern for scientific truth and the decorative and exotic aspects of natural history that were highly prized by royal and private clients. These striking watercolors are by one of the masters of natural history painting and valuable records showing the eighteenth-century synthesis of science and aesthetics.
