Les Plaisirs de la chasse: Le Chasseur prévoyant is a 1842 by Alade Joseph Lorentz, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a hunter on horseback. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothing and has a dog with him. The hunter seems to be preparing for a hunt, which suggests the painting is about a common activity from the past. The painting gives us a glimpse into life in 19th century France. It's interesting because it shows a quiet moment before the action starts. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
