Engraving, part of a set of six rectangular prints with white backgrounds, representing different types of hunting scenes. Near the center of the picture, a wolf is captured by a net, held by two trees, assaulted by several dogs. A huntsman, on the left, holds the wolf's neck with a sort of clamp, while another, next to him, pokes it on the side with a sort of fork. On the right, a third hunter, on horseback, approaches the wolf galloping, also armed with clamps. Several other hunters approach the trapped dog from both sides, armed with forks and halberds, and one of them, directly behind the horseman, blowing a horn.
