Mortier
Mortier is a Neoclassicism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Late-18th-century Dutch painters favored tiny ivory scenes of everyday life. Mortier's A Hunter with a Dog (1794) fits that pocket-size tradition, showing a man in a forest clearing with his pointer. Painted on ivory, the usual support for miniatures meant to be held or worn, it pairs the dog's alert stance with the hunter's easy posture.
