Artist, Florentine, 1610 - 1664

The image shows a person in a walking posture with one arm raised and the other holding a leash attached to a dog. The person's facial features are gentle, with a slightly downward-turned gaze, and their hair is covered. They wear a flowing garment that reaches below the knees and is cinched at the waist. On their back, they carry a quiver filled with arrows. The background includes a large tree with detailed foliage against a cloudy sky, creating a natural setting that suggests movement and depth.
