With a richly carved antique frame. Superb oil on canvas depicting a pointing dog (English Setter type) in a hunting stance, set in a hilly landscape at dusk. The animal, rendered with precision and attention to anatomical detail, stands out against a background of wooded hills bathed in the golden light of late afternoon. The elegant posture, the tension of the body, and the finesse of the modeling demonstrate an excellent mastery of the hunting subject. The composition is balanced: a naturalistic foreground with meticulously rendered grasses and branches; a middle ground opening onto a misty valley; and a mountainous background under a dramatic sky with shades of gray-blue and ochre. The work bears a signature in the lower right corner (to be identified), painted in red. Technique: Oil on canvas. Beautiful paint application. Fine rendering of textures (fur, vegetation, atmosphere). Harmonious palette typical of 19th-century animal and landscape painting.
