About the piece
Painted around 1727 by Pieter Vanderlyn, this work is an excellent example of the Hudson Valley limner style. The young subject is depicted with a formal yet naive elegance, wearing a deep green coat and holding a hat, while a small brown hound gazes up at him against a vibrant red backdrop.
