Woodsy landscape with animals and horses

Two equestrians, a man and a woman, driving by a woodsy environment shone on with the sun shines on the hills. The equestrians and their dogs overtake a farmer with cows and sheeps, while on the opposite side of the path a small party persons is looking.

Calraet derived not only motives from Aelbert Cuyp but also on other painters, under who the famous horse painter Philips Wouwerman  (1619-1668).

Landscape with equestrian by evening light

Because of the monogram A.C. on the right-hand corner of the painting it was for a long time also thought as a work of Aelbert Cuyp.

Man, woman and child

Landscape with fighting equestrians

In a hill scenery at the bank of a river two quarelling groups equestrians met each other.

Officers and townsfolk at an encampment outside Breda

The scene probably depicts the Dutch encampment during the siege in 1637. As a comparison suggests with the picture of Stadtholder Frederik Hendrik on horseback outside Breda. This work was probably painted for the clientele who could hardly remember the Eighthy Years War.

Still-life with Peaches and Grapes

Abraham van Calraet was Aelbert Cuyp's principal seventeenth follower. Confusion between the two is compounded by the signature 'A.C.' found on van Calraet's views of Dordrecht, pictures f horsemen, and still-lifes. it is sometimes erroneously accepted as Aelbert Cuyp's own monogram.

The Interior of a Stable

Stable interiors of this type were painted by Calraet in imitation of pictures by Philips Wouwermans, such as 'The Interior of a Stable' also in the National Gallery's Collection. Trough the archway a family can be seen begging for alms. The surface of the picture is considerably worn so that the wood grain shows, notably in the sky.

Scene on the Ice outside Dordrecht

Dordrecht i seen here from the north, across the river Maas. In the left background is the Groothoofdspoort, a watergate which still survives, although it was altered in the late 17th century. To the right of it is the the Dordrecht Minster (Grote Kerk) which is unchanged today. Party because of the parallels between the city views in this picture and in works by Albaert Cuyp, the painting has in the past been attributed to him. This panel was part of a collection of paintings who were auctioned in 1785 and sold to England. In 2002 the painting came back to Dordrecht after 200 years and is since then borrowed from the National Gallery of London.

A Boy holding a Grey Horse

This picture is attributed to Calraet because of its closeness in style to signed paintings by him. It does, however, bear a false Cuyp signature and in the past has been catalogued as his work. The horse in particular appears in pictures by both artists. It''s not unusual for paintings by Calraet to be mistaken for works by Cuyp. There are several versions of this subject, including one (London, Wallace Collection) which is also falsely signed as the work of Cuyp.

A Brown and White Skewbald Horse with a Saddle beside it

Like many other works by the artist, this painting was once attributed to Aelbert Cuyp, but it is related to paintings which are now considered to be by Calraet, for example 'Stable Interior with Two Dapple-Grey Horses' (Rotterdam, Museum Boymans-van Beuningen). The horse appears, with variations, in the Rotterdam picture.

Cattle on a River Bank

Halt at an Inn

Inscription: '.cuyp' Originally thought to be a work by Cuyp, but later recognised as a work by Calraet. Although there is still some doubt.

Horses tied to a Tree

The Start

This painting is typical of Van Calraet’s work, particularly in the depiction of dogs and horses. It shows two riders and their dogs preparing to leave an inn and ‘start’ their journey. A wreath and a pewter wine jug hanging from the pole attached to the building indicate that this is an inn; the lady to the left wearing red is the inn-keeper. One man is mounted with his plumed hat and gloves on and clearly wishes to leave, while the other gestures to his companion to enjoy another glass (‘roemer’) of wine. Until the twentieth century, this picture was thought to be by Aelbert Cuyp, as it emulates his work both in its composition and in its use of light.

Interior of a kitchen

A kitchen girl pours a sauce over the fish in the scale standing on a stove. On the background we see a view to a room with a covered table. That motive is clearly derived from the perspective views of Nicolaes Maes.
