About the piece
Painted by John Closterman around 1690, this striking portrait depicts the young John Poulett, 1st Earl Poulett, in his sporting finery. Closterman masterfully captures the textures of the velvet coat, intricate silver embroidery, and the attentive gaze of the hunting spaniel at the boy's side, all set against a moody, atmospheric landscape typical of the English Baroque style.
