This impressive painting by Huub van Winkel is a pronounced masterpiece within modern figurative painting and an absolute eye catcher for any interior. The large size of 100 x 80 cm gives the work a monumental appearance and makes it a painting that immediately captures attention and remains a lasting conversation piece.

Huub van Winkel is known for his powerful, artisanal approach to the rural theme. In this work, he depicts a harmonious farmyard scene with cows, a thatched cottage, haystacks, and a farmer at rest. The composition breathes tradition and a connection to the landscape. The paint handling is rich and lively, with a clear brushstroke, warm earth tones, and a subtle, natural light effect that adds depth and tranquility. This scene is brought to life so vividly that it feels as if you are standing there, watching among the farm animals.

The sky area is broad and openly painted, giving the landscape breathing space and drawing the viewer's eye into the painting. The animals are depicted with a sense of anatomy and character, without exaggeration, but with conviction and craftsmanship. This is not decorative work, but a thoughtful and mature painting that effortlessly aligns with the great tradition of realistic-rural painting.

The painting is signed and dated 1996, which firmly places it within the oeuvre of Huub van Winkel. Works of this size and quality are rare and seldom appear on the market, especially when they are in such well-maintained and balanced condition.

The work is in good and stable condition, with a beautifully preserved paint surface and a pleasing natural gloss. The canvas is properly stretched and professionally framed, giving the whole piece a stately and timeless appearance. This painting will impress your guests and continue to captivate both visually and intellectually for years to come.

A unique opportunity for collectors, lovers of figurative painting, and anyone looking for a powerful statement piece.
