Bibliography: Hofstede de Groot, A Catalogue raisonné of the works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeenth Century, Volume II, London 1909 (consulted edition), p. 475, n°700. Birgit Schumacher, Philips Wouwerman, The Horse Painter of the Golden Age, I, p. 254-255, n°A210; vol II, repro. fig. 196. A painter of battles, military camps and bambochades in his early days, Wouwerman gradually diversified his subjects and increased the importance of the landscape in the second half of his career, the place of the horse remaining paramount. This painting is dated by Birgit Schumacher to the transition phase between these two ways, at the end of the 1640s. The hunters stopped to pose at the foot of a colonnade in ruins. In the centre, two elegant young women talk. One of them is riding a bay horse. A third one is addressed to a falconer dressed in red and holding his raptor on his right wrist. A man harnesses his drinking horse. Around them, the other figures are about to leave, a kid is dressing an injured dog on the right. In the background, the silhouette of a falconer on horseback and a vase resting on a column shaft stand out against a valley and a cloudy sky.
