About the Item

A delightful 19th-century portrait of a young farm boy holding a hunting rattle and horn. These rattles were traditionally used to mimic the clash of antlers, luring bucks into displays of dominance. The boy is rendered in the soft, idealized manner typical of the period, with round features and a rosy complexion that convey a sense of innocence and tenderness. He stands atop a hill beneath a moody sky, his village visible in the distance. At his feet, a small dog rests beside his bag, poised in quiet companionship. Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.
