About the piece

Painted in 1844 by Ján Erlinger, this evocative oil painting depicts a hunter at rest within a lush European forest. Accompanied by his hunting dog and a successful catch, the subject's dignified pose and the detailed woodland setting reflect the enduring appeal of 19th-century sporting art and genre portraiture.
