About this work

This painting shows a man with a horse and dog in a formal portrait. The scene is set against a coastal background with Bass Rock and Tantallon Castle. This location is interesting because it's a real place in East Lothian. The artist used a technique to create depth, which is similar to what you'd see if you looked up chiaroscuro.
