About the piece
Painted circa 1685 by Willem Wissing, this elegant oil portrait depicts a young boy as a hunter, holding a spear and accompanied by a sleek greyhound. The composition is set against a moody, deep-toned landscape with a dramatic sky, characteristic of the English Baroque style. The subject's luminous skin and the rich textures of his garments create a sophisticated and grounding visual presence.
