Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon (1743 - 1827) is a 1764 oil by Pompeo Batoni, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a man in an outdoor scene. He wears a red coat, brown breeches, and a black hat, holding a long gun in his left hand. A brown horse stands behind him, while three dogs lie on the ground in front. The background is a landscape with trees and a blue sky. The man's attire and the presence of the horse and dogs suggest a hunting scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Pompeo Batoni, an Italian artist known for his portraits and historical scenes.
Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (25 January 1708 – 4 February 1787) was an Italian painter who displayed a solid technical knowledge in his portrait work and in his numerous allegorical and mythological pictures.
