Departure for hunting, sketch

About this work

The painting shows a group of people on horseback, dressed in old-fashioned hunting clothes, riding down a path in a forest. They're all wearing red jackets and black hats. The trees are tall and skinny, with no leaves. The sky is gray and cloudy. In the foreground, a man in a red jacket is holding up his arms, like he's directing the group. There are also some dogs running around the horses. The painting is done in dark colors, with lots of shadows. This painting reminds me of the work of artist Maksymilian Gierymski.
