Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht (1858-1933) - Een 19e eeuwse coupé koets met voorop een bok voor de koetsier

A 19th-century coupé carriage with a box at the front for the coachman to sit. A coupé is a light, four-wheeled, closed carriage with only one rear bench for two passengers and drawn by one or two horses. The use of this type of carriage peaked in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is rendered on canvas and then glued (marouflage technique) onto a solid oak panel. Lower right signed with the initials J.HvP and dated 1907. On the lower left the painting is dated again with 07. The panel measures 22x29 cm and the outer dimensions of the black classical frame are 33.5x40 cm.

Both the painting and the frame are in good to excellent condition. The painting has not been retouched and a recent layer of final varnish has been applied, which optimizes its durability for the future. The relatively new frame comes from Inlijstboutique Valkenhoeve in Wateren. The panel is floating-framed with clips.
