Young Woman with Hunter is a 1750 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting depicts a young woman and a hunter in a close embrace. The woman, dressed in a light-colored dress, is holding a piece of cloth, while the hunter, wearing dark attire, has his arm around her and holds a bird in his hand. The background of the painting is dark, with some lighter areas that suggest a landscape. The couple's pose and facial expressions convey a sense of intimacy and connection. The woman's gaze is directed at the viewer, while the hunter looks away, adding a sense of mystery to the scene. This painting is held at the Art Institute of Chicago.
