EDITORS COMMENTS

Created around 1699, this masterpiece can be found within the esteemed collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Desportes, a prominent figure of the Baroque era, not only excelled as an artist but also had a deep passion for hunting. In this self-portrait, he skillfully portrays himself as both an accomplished huntsman and an elegant gentleman. Standing confidently with his loyal hound by his side and holding a hunt bag filled with tools of the trade, Desportes exudes authority and expertise. The pointer dog at his feet adds to the composition's sense of harmony and balance. The fine details showcased in this artwork highlight Desportes' mastery over capturing textures and expressions. From the intricate patterns on his clothing to the subtle play of light across his face, every brushstroke reveals Desportes' exceptional talent.
