Artist, German, 1726 - 1801

The image shows a man walking alongside a dog. The man is walking in profile, holding a walking stick, dressed in a long coat with tails, high boots, and a tricorn hat adorned with a feather. His hair is styled with curls extending down from beneath the hat. The man's facial features are depicted with a defined nose and chin, and his head is slightly tilted back. His attire appears elaborate, with detailed embroidery and texture on his coat. Alongside him, a slender dog with a narrow head and erect tail walks closely. The scene is set against a backdrop featuring stylized clouds and a landscape that provides a textured ground beneath the man and dog. The entire scene is framed with a thin border.
