About the piece

Painted in 1662 by Jan Baptist Wolfaerts, this evocative work captures a lively moment of respite during a hunt. The composition is anchored by a striking white horse in the foreground and a rider in a vibrant red coat sounding a horn, set against a sweeping, atmospheric landscape that epitomizes the sporting traditions of the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age.
