Henri Schouten is a Belgian animalist painter.
He studied at the Brussels Academy, where, under the influence of his teacher Alfred Vervy, he specialized in painting landscapes with cattle. Schouten depicted a wide variety of domestic animals and birds in their natural environment in a very naturalistic way, paying attention to their special character traits, as was fashionable at the time. His paintings were much loved by the wealthy Belgian bourgeoisie.
