About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Giovanni Battista Quadrone, this oil on panel work captures the quiet anticipation of a hunt. The scene is rich with texture, from the rough-hewn wooden walls and scattered hay to the delicate rendering of the hunting dogs and their puppies. A young child sits in the foreground, adding a tender narrative element to this classic example of Italian genre painting.
