About the piece

Created in 1893 by Henri Rachou, this work captures the energy and pageantry of a medieval falconry expedition. The composition is framed by an intricate painted ornamental border, reflecting its heritage as a design for the Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory, and showcases masterful depictions of historical costume, horses, and hounds.
