Description: | In a landscape, to the left, an inn with a signboard (a falcon, with the lettering: 'IN DE VALK' below). Extreme left foreground, a servant fills pails from a stream; behind, other servants bring hay and a wooden trough. Centre foreground, a man in a blue jacket holds a dappled grey horse from which he has just dismounted. Behind, left, a man in a cap helps a lady in yellow dismount from a brown horse. In the mid-distance to the right a large ruined arch either side of the track, through which ride other huntsmen on horseback. To the side of the track, a family of beggars, some seated, a boy in rags approaches the hunters, asking for money. Mountains in distance. This is one of a set of six paintings (PC .58 (1-6) possibly originally conceived as tapestry designs. Partly overpainted, reputedly in the late nineteenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse; dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Malleyn, Gerrit (Dutch artist, 1753-1816) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8765... | Go to resource |
