关于这幅画

Abraham Hondius (1625/30-1691) was born in Rotterdam and was trained there by Pieter de Bloot (1601-1658) and Cornelis Saftleven (1607-1681). He lived in Rotterdam until 1659 and moved then to Amsterdam. He moved to London in 1666, where he spent the rest of his life. Hondius combined throughout his career several stylistic influences and struggled to develop a style of his own. He however specialised somehow in animal pieces: more than two third of his paintings, etchings and drawings are hunting scenes, animals fighting and animal studies. He also executed landscapes, genre and religious scenes.

This painting, which has long been accepted as a work by Abraham Hondius, shows many similarities in style and composition with Hondius’ hunting scenes of ca. 1650. The majority of these paintings are now in private collections. During those years, Hondius chose to depict quiet moments before or after the hunt, almost invariably set on the edges of a wood. A mountain in distance enhances the depth and provides the whole composition with bigger sense of space. If the figures are quite stiff and wooden, the vegetation is accurately depicted, especially the foliage of the trees and the big leaves in the immediate left foreground , which is used here as a repoussoir so as to structure better the perspective in the whole composition.
