Robert Hunter is a Rococo painting artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland.

Robert Hunter painted oil portraits of Irish aristocrats and thinkers in the 1700s. His brush captured the stiff lace collars and serious faces of men like the 20th Earl of Kildare and the philosopher Francis Hutcheson. If you want to see his style up close, tap into Portrait of a Lady, the one work in our bundle that shows a woman’s face and dress in sensible detail.
