Wouterus Verschuur (11 June 1812 – 4 July 1874) was a Dutch painter of animal subjects – mainly horses – and of landscapes.

Born to an Amsterdam jeweller, Verschuur received his training from the landscape and cattle painters Pieter Gerardus van Os and Cornelis Steffelaar.

As part of this education Verschuur had to copy works by the 17th century painter Philips Wouwerman, like Wouwerman Verschuur’s subjects consist mostly of stable scenes, landscapes with horses and coastal landscapes.

He was often featured in the annual exhibitions which travelled the large European cities at that time.

'A grey and a black horse with stable boys', a 69x59 cm oil on panel was sold at Christie's Amsterdam in 1998 for $451,165.
