Hunter and Wild Geese

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A painting on brown paper depicts a man and a child with a horse. The man is on the left side of the painting and wears a long red garment with a belt around his waist. He holds a long object in one hand and the reins in the other. The man has one arm raised to his forehead. The short child wears a long green garment and stands behind the man with a long, thin object on his right shoulder. The horse on the right side is dark brown with a white spotted blanket underneath a green and red saddle blanket. The horse's head is down as if it is eating. The background is solid brown.
