This very good quality miniature portrait of a mid-aged gentleman depicted as a hunter accompanied by his loyal dog seems to be one more work of well-known French miniaturist Louis Lié Périn-Salbreux, who was active at the turn of the 19th century (for comparison, see visit our store here on eBay for other works by this artist).

Louis Lié Périn-Salbreux (1753 Reims - 1817 ibidem) was the son of a cloth manufacturer in Reims, where he studied under Ganes, called Clermont. At the age of 25 he went to Paris, where he became a student of Lemmonier and Sicardi and became friendly with Roslin, who is said to have advised him to specialise in miniature painting. In fact, Périn excelled in this field, although he also did portraits in oils and in pastel. He exhibited at the Salon from 1793 to 1798 and seems to have rapidly gained success in Parisian aristocratic circles, a clientele he was forcibly deprived of by the Revolution. As in addition to that his personal fortune rapidly decreased because of the assignats, he returned to Reims in 1799 to take over the factory which his father had left him. From that time, evidently, he painted less, but as soon as he could, he devoted himself to his much loved art and again produced a number of remarkable oil portraits and miniatures.
Schidlof writes "Périn is undoubtedly one of the greatest French miniaturists of the 18th century. Although he was a pupil of Sicardi, one finds no resemblance between the works of these two artists. On the other hand, Périn resembles Hall in an amazing way in some of his miniatures, in technique as well as in quality".
Works of Périn achieve today very remarkable prices at the international art auction market.
