About the piece

Painted in 1642 by Pieter Wouwerman, this work showcases the classical Dutch mastery of light and atmosphere. The composition balances the quiet tranquility of the river and distant peaks with the active energy of a hunt unfolding beneath towering, detailed trees in a golden afternoon light.
