About Artwork: (About 1690) "Paintings depicting the interior of large stables were first made popular by Philips Wouwerman in Haarlem in the 1650s. They tend to depict day-to-day activity in large rural stables – a gentleman horseman, surrounded by his servants. Van Calraet was working 30 to 40 years later in Dordrecht and drew on the work of both Wouwerman and Aelbert Cuyp, another animal specialist. This picture has similarities with Wouwerman’s The Interior of a Stable, also in the National Gallery’s collection: the predominantly dark background full of figures and activity, hens pecking in the right foreground, an opening to the outside world, a white horse and a mounted horseman in the centre. However, van Calraet created a stronger contrast between light and dark, highlighting the white horse in a more dramatic way. And while the painting by Wouwerman shows a gentleman tipping a groom, van Calraet’s shows a vignette of a mother with three young children, apparently receiving alms from the stable-master." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
