About the piece

This masterful 1650 oil on panel by Dirk Stoop captures a moment of repose during a hunt. A hunter sits atop a reddish horse, sounding a horn, while companions and their hounds gather on a rugged path, all set against a luminous, atmospheric sky characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
