19th-Century German School, Portrait Of A Huntsman Bold Medium Oil on board laidA charming mid 19th century portrait of a bearded gentleman wearing a large hat and overcoat. His outfit is more informal than you typically find in 19th century portraits of gentlemen and its interesting to consider why he chose to wear it. It feels more akin to outfits worn while hunting, so maybe he was a keen huntsman or a gamekeeper for a large country house. The portrait is housed within a later frame.
