Hunting: dogs chase hares toward pens while hunters on horseback look on

An engraving of a hunt in an open landscape: hounds chase hares across a field while hunters on foot and on horseback, one armed with a long pole, move through the trees. Fleeing hares and dogs fill the middle distance, and a tall tree frames the left foreground.
