Bildbeschreibung
This painting shows a man holding a pheasant by its legs in his raised left hand, his right arm supporting a long rifle. The man is turned to the right, and he is wearing a tall grey top hat, a long, gray-brown coat, dark pants, and boots. He has fair skin, pink cheeks, and a slight smile on his pink lips. Gray hair is partially visible beneath his hat. A red horse is to his left with its head lowered, and two brown-and-white dogs are at his feet. The background is a sky with swirling clouds in shades of brown and gray, with distant blue hills visible beyond the brown landscape.
