"The Prince at the Bird-Catching" is a 16th-century woodcut by Leonhard Beck. The artwork depicts a prince on horseback, his bow drawn as he chases after a bird in flight. The prince's attire and the cityscape in the background indicate a high status individual, possibly a prince of a German state. Beck was a noted German artist known for his woodcuts and paintings, which often depicted scenes of hunting and courtly life. This work, created between 1514 and 1516, is a fine example of German Renaissance art.
