Conradyn Cunaeus was a Dutch artist who specialised in representing dogs in his work. Historically deerhounds, such as those seen in the painting, were revered for their courage and skill in hunting stags. A much simpler composition, 'Hunting Companions', in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, offers a similar subject where the same type of dogs and the same chair, gun and bag as in this painting are depicted.
