Portrait of a Gentleman as a Hunter is a 1727 oil by Jean-Marc Nattier, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting shows a man with long, curly hair, dressed in a green jacket with white ruffles on his shirt. He is holding a long gun in his right hand and has a black and white dog sitting beside him. The man is wearing a green jacket with buttons down the front and a white shirt with ruffles at the cuffs. The man's expression is serious, and he appears to be looking off into the distance. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color, which helps to highlight the subject. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject. Check out more works by artist Jean-Marc Nattier.
