About us

silla was born out of a passion for beautiful objects: special pieces with aesthetic and historical significance. In 2009, after years of collecting, Andrew Silla and his wife Grace began to work privately with clients from their residence in Southern Maryland. Quickly outgrowing the space, the business was moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania in 2012 and after several warehouse location changes it was firmly settled in the present brick-and-mortar location in downtown Shippensburg.

The 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery is home to a large collection of works of art and estate jewelry. We specialize in sculpture circa 1860 through 1930 with a particular emphasis on the Animaliers and as such the gallery always has a very large collection of exceptional European and American sculpture available on display.

EUGENE VERBOECKHOVEN
Belgian, 1798-1881

Sheep and Goats in a Bucolic Landscape (1859)

Oil on panel | Signed lower left "Eugene Verboeckhoven 1859", red wax seal remnants verso

Item # 103WTA23Q 

A finely detailed bucolic landscape capturing two sheep in the foreground and a pair of goats just behind them on a pasture of green grasses with golden billows of wheat in the background. In the distance we see hints of a windmill at the unusually low horizon beneath brilliant bright skies. The work is signed in his typical manner lower left.

Measurements: 10" H x 12 3/4" W [panel]; 16 3/4" H x 19 1/2" W x 1 3/4" D [frame]

Condition Report:
Contemporary frame with minor wear/discoloration; formerly cradled panel, battens since removed; two horizontal restored cracks with associated inpainting along the face of the painting - the cracks appear to be closed with hide glue and it will be important to keep the painting humidity controlled (less than 50% RH) throughout the year; a few scattered surface touchups; cleaned and sealed by our conservator with traditional Damar varnish. A fine presentation.
