David Vinckboons, the very popular draftsman and painter, made only three prints himself, but his designs were the basis for more prints than any other Netherlandish artist in the early seventeen century. In this series, various scenes of hunting and fishing are set in stylized landscapes, peopled by peasants and noblemen.

An elegant couple in the foreground stop to speak to one of the hunters, who has a string of hares around his neck. In the middle distance other men use guns and a cross bow to get their prey.

Three of the ten etchings, including the present work, are by Claes Jansz. Visscher, and seven by Pieter Serwouters.
