Description: | A group of hunters, horses and dogs is seen in a flat landscape, with trees and a house to the right and a vast plain to the left. The focus is on the hawking party on horseback: a man is mounting a white horse; a lady, sitting side-saddle, holds a hawk on her wrist. Their stylish attire reinforces the fact that hunting on horseback was a privilege reserved for the aristocracy in the seventeenth-century Netherlands. The painting recalls the hunting scenes painted by Wouwerman. However, the quality of the work is average and suggests a later Anglo-Dutch follower. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal; everyday | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: British School Æ Attributed to manner of Attributed to manner of Dutch School Previously attributed to manner of Wouwerman, Philips (Dutch painter, 1619-1668) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8563... | Go to resource |
