About the piece
Painted in 1725 by Alexandre-François Desportes, the premier hunting artist for the French royal court, this work captures the raw intensity of the chase. The composition centers on the fierce struggle between a pack of varied hounds and a cornered wolf, set against a beautifully rendered forest landscape typical of the era's sophisticated naturalism.
