Hunting was one of the artist's favourite pastimes. In one of his early self-portraits, he appears at a hunt. Originally the figure was portrayed in full, with a dog and hunting trophies. He later cut off some of the canvas, leaving only the upper part of the body. The portrait was painted in September. It wonderfully conveys the lyrical feeling of late autumn.
