About the piece
Painted in 1704 by the renowned French artist Alexandre-François Desportes, this oil on canvas captures the refined sporting traditions of the era. The hunter is presented with dignity in a powdered wig and fine coat, standing between his faithful spaniels and a meticulously rendered still life of game birds and a hare, all set against a lush, atmospheric landscape.
