Hunter

A heavyset man in a long fur-collared coat and pointed fur hat lies stretched on his back among bare, thin saplings, one leg raised, his bearded face turned toward the viewer. A black dog noses in from the left foreground, while behind the trees a marshy plain stretches toward a misty tree line under an overcast sky.

Muted olive greens and grey-blues fill the background, while the man's tan coat and the dog's dark coat dominate the larger-scaled foreground. The exaggerated size of the reclining figure against the small distant landscape gives the composition a heavy, brooding weight, painted with firm outlines and dense, matte color.
