"A Gentleman, Three-quarter Length, Standing, his Left Hand Resting On A Favourite Hound, In A Park Setting" is a notable portrait painting by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent artist of the 17th century who became the Principal Painter to Charles II. This work exemplifies Lely's mastery in portraiture, particularly his ability to capture the elegance and refined demeanor of his subjects, often set against idyllic landscapes or, as in this case, a park setting.

The painting features an unidentified gentleman, depicted in a three-quarter length pose, which was a common format for portraiture of the time, allowing the artist to convey both the appearance and the character of the sitter. The gentleman stands with a relaxed yet dignified air, his left hand casually resting on the back of a hound, suggesting a bond between the man and his pet and perhaps indicating the sitter's status and leisurely pursuits. The presence of the hound not only adds a personal touch but also serves as a symbol of loyalty and nobility.

Lely's use of light, color, and composition in this portrait is characteristic of his style, which was influenced by the work of Anthony van Dyck, another court painter who preceded him. The soft, diffused lighting highlights the textures of the gentleman's attire and the dog's fur, while the landscape provides a serene backdrop that complements the subject's aristocratic bearing.

This painting is a significant example of Lely's contribution to British portraiture during the Restoration period. It reflects the cultural and social milieu of the time, when portraiture was not only a means of documenting one's likeness but also a way to convey social status and personal identity. As with many of Lely's works, the painting offers insight into the fashions and aesthetics of the English court and the gentry in the latter half of the 17th century.

Today, "A Gentleman, Three-quarter Length, Standing, his Left Hand Resting On A Favourite Hound, In A Park Setting" is appreciated for its artistic merit and as a historical document, providing a window into the past and the opulent world of the English aristocracy during Sir Peter Lely's time. The painting is a testament to Lely's reputation as one of the foremost portraitists of his day and remains an important piece within the canon of British art history.
