This painting shows a man and a hound running. The man is wearing a hat and a long coat, and the hound is running alongside him. The background is a floral pattern. The man and the hound are depicted in a dynamic pose, with the man's coat flowing behind him. The floral pattern in the background adds a sense of movement and energy to the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures of the man and the hound. Look up chiaroscuro.
