En harejagt is a 1734 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of people hunting with dogs and horses in an open field. The scene has a few riders on horseback, some walking dogs, and others standing or crouched near the animals. The background is a hazy landscape with trees and distant hills, giving a sense of depth. The artist paid close attention to the dogs’ focused expressions and the horses’ calm stance. The lighting is soft, making the figures stand out against the muted background. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
