This drawing of a hunter by Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp depicts a man in a fur cap and coat, holding a rifle. Avercamp is known for his depictions of winter landscapes and scenes of daily life. His keen observation of the everyday is evident in this detailed study of a hunter's pose, clothing, and weaponry, suggesting it may have been intended as preparation for a larger composition. The drawing is executed in brown and gray washes on paper, highlighting Avercamp's skilled handling of light and shadow. The drawing currently resides in the Städel Museum.
