On the left, partially framed by an overhanging tree with detailed leaves, there's a figure on horseback rearing to the left with a hunting spear in hand. The rider is wearing an elaborate, embroidered outfit and a wide-brimmed hat, indicating a person of status or a specialized role, like a hunter or falconer.

In the center and to the right, there’s another figure on horseback wielding a weapon, seemingly in mid-charge. Several dogs of various sizes and shapes are energetically engaged in the hunt, with some chasing down another animal, potentially a boar, given the context of the image.

Merian in." suggests that the image was created by Matthäus Merian or someone in his circle. The overall composition is dynamic, capturing the movement and intensity of a traditional hunt scene, rich in detail and activity.
