"Portrait of a Young Man, Full Length, Wearing a Red Tunic, and Holding a Bow and Arrow, with a Spaniel and a Hare" is a 17th-century painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes. This artwork exemplifies Maes' skill in portraiture, a genre in which he gained considerable recognition after his tutelage under the renowned Rembrandt van Rijn. The painting depicts an elegantly dressed young man in a vibrant red tunic, poised with a bow and arrow, suggesting themes of hunting or classical allegory. Accompanying the figure is a spaniel, a breed often associated with loyalty and hunting, and a hare, which may symbolize the successful outcome of a hunt or serve as an emblem of the sitter's attributes or status.

Nicolaes Maes, born in 1634 in Dordrecht and active mainly in Dordrecht and Amsterdam, was known for his genre scenes early in his career and later for his portraits. This particular work is notable for its life-size scale and the detailed rendering of textures and materials, from the sheen of the young man's tunic to the soft fur of the animals. The painting's composition and the inclusion of a landscape in the background are reflective of the period's aesthetic and the influence of Maes' mentor, Rembrandt.

While the identity of the young man is not definitively known, the portrait is a testament to Maes' ability to capture the essence of his subjects and to reflect the societal values and interests of the Dutch Republic's prosperous burgher class. The work is an important example of Maes' portraiture and contributes to the understanding of Dutch portraiture in the second half of the 17th century. It holds significance for its art historical value, its representation of cultural and social themes of the era, and its demonstration of the artist's technical prowess and stylistic evolution.
