About the piece

This 1860 oil painting by Hippolyte Boulenger masterfully depicts the ponds of Terhulpen under a restless, cloud-laden sky. The heavy brushwork and rich, earthy palette of the Tervuren School capture the raw, unpolished beauty of the Belgian countryside, making it a sophisticated addition to a variety of interior styles.
