While this French artist remains unknown, a certain degree of provenance can be derived from the painting’s iconography. This well-born archer and his dog rest atop a hill overlooking a magnificent park; landscape design was in vogue in mid-eighteenth-century France. The attire worn by the noble Lad marks this canvas as French from about 1750, as well.
