From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a group of people riding horses and hunting dogs in a wooded area. The scene has tall trees, rocky ground, and a small stream. Some riders are in the foreground, while others are farther back, all dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist paid close attention to the shadows and light, making the scene feel real. The horses and dogs look lively, while the trees and rocks add texture. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro for more details on how light and shadow work in art.
