Refined oil painting depicting a gentleman in hunting attire, captured in a mountainous landscape at sunset. The man, elegantly dressed in a brown velvet jacket and a scarf tied at his neck, holds a rifle and poses with natural composure next to his loyal hunting dog, which looks at him with a vigilant and affectionate expression.
The work, of excellent pictorial quality, stands out for the care in the psychological rendering of the face and for the meticulous attention to the details of the clothing and the natural scene.
The painter, akin to Hoppner and Opie, with this work demonstrates the influence that Nicolò Cassana, who was in London and died there in 1714, had on English portraitists.
19th century, English school.
