Description: | Signed: yes Description: Boar being hunted by dogs shown in close-up in the foreground. A black, female boar fighting with two dogs to protect her young. The first white and tan dog has fallen backwards in pain with signs of blood on his chest. The boar looks fiercely at the next attacking dog, baring her teeth at him. This second dog attacks, teeth bared with hair standing on end. Behind the she-boar, the face of a second, smaller boar, undoubtedly her baby, mouth open. Behind the second dog, a black pointer, behind him, a fourth approaches, teeth bared. Behind the boar, a large gnarled tree. Trees on both sides of the composition create a 'window' through which can be seen a distant landscape of hills and trees. A wild and violent scene echoed in the dark, twisted foreground trees and foliage. | Subjects: | animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hondius, Abraham (Dutch painter, ca. 1625-1691) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8310... | Go to resource |
