This anonymous etching, "Jacht op een leeuw waarbij de leeuw een man doodt", depicts a dramatic scene of a lion attack during a hunting expedition. Dated after 1598, the print showcases three horsemen, their steeds in a frenzy, as they attempt to subdue the lion. The lion has already killed one of the hunters, highlighting the perilous nature of the sport. This work, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the history of hunting and the dangers faced by those who pursued it.
