The page with a greyhound

1580-85
Fresco
Room of Landscapes, Villa Chiericati, Longa di Schiavon

On one of the walls of the room, the vivid figure of the page and his greyhound stand out flanked by a Landscape between Autumn and Winter and a Winter Landscape. They are rendered with extreme naturalism, as expressed in the open and friendly gesture of welcome directed toward the visitor and the expansive tilt of the young man's body.
