Not on view
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.

Gentlemen mounted on horses and peasants on foot work, all carrying spears, work together to chase down and kill the fierce boars.

Seven of the ten etching, including the present work, are by Pieter Serwouters and the remaining three by Claes Jansz. Visscher.
