The man is depicted sitting in a garden while stroking the head of a hunting dog, a pointer, resting on his knee.

The painting, relined, comes from a private collection in Milan and is presented unframed. It is in good condition, except for a small tear in the canvas at the bottom left. It is signed in italics G.e Penuti 1868 in red at the bottom right. The work is rendered with extraordinary attention to detail, lending the portrait a high pictorial quality. Every element is depicted with meticulous precision, from the jewelry to the facial expression, but above all, the presence of the dog in the foreground, tenderly caressed by its owner, underscores the emotional intensity and bond between the two.
