About the piece

This 1690 oil painting by Dutch artist Jan Wyck captures the refined leisure of a hawking party. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape, the composition features finely detailed riders on spirited horses, including a prominent white mount, accompanied by hunting dogs and an attendant carrying hawks. Wyck was renowned for his equestrian and sporting subjects, and this work exemplifies the heritage of European sporting art.
