Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski, one of the most celebrated Polish painters, studied at the Warsaw School of Drawing. He continued his studies in Dresden and Prague. He then travelled to Munich to study at the Academy of the Fine Arts and in the private studio of Josef von Brandt (1841-1915), which became a gathering place for Polish artists.
The present lot depicts a horse galloping across a plain with a newlywed couple sitting in a carriage. He captures a moment of tenderness between them. It is a superb example of Kowalski’s wedding subjects.
Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski is best known for his scenes depicting traditional Polish country life with figures in the snow. Central to most of his compositions, the horse is depicted as a steadying force and a companion. He remained in Munich for much of the remainder of his life.
