The young sportsman is a 1766 oil by Robert Edge Pine, a Rococo painting work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a young man dressed in hunting attire, standing in a wooded area with his gun and dogs by his side. He wears a green jacket, a red vest, and a black hat, with a bag slung over his shoulder. The background features trees and a cloudy sky. The young man's posture and expression convey a sense of confidence and pride in his outdoor pursuits. The artist's use of color and composition effectively captures the subject's personality and surroundings. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Robert Edge Pine.
Robert Edge Pine (1730 – 18 November 1788) was an English painter who specialised in portrait painting and history painting.
