It is quite likely that the man portrayed in the painting is the artist himself. Rungius often painted from photographs taken of his subjects during his outings. From photographs found in the archives at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Canada, we can relate the subject in the painting to a photograph of the artist who is depicted smoking a pipe and wearing similar garments (no. NA-3466-52).
