Peter Henry Emerson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing in profile holding a greyhound by the hindquarters. The man is wearing a flat cap, a long dark jacket over a shirt, dark trousers, and sturdy footwear. An object is tucked into his coat. In the background, there is a textured landscape fading into a vast, open sky with a slightly overcast appearance.
