Nicolas de Largillière was a French portraitist to royalty and the bourgeoisie. His work features fluid brushstrokes, vivid hues, and often the wit and intimacy of the Flemish masters that influenced him. Here, De Largillière painted a gentleman hunter with his dog outside his country estate proudly displaying the bird he has just taken with his French flintlock musket.
