Hertenjagers steken een rivier over c. 1733 - 1762

"Hertenjagers steken een rivier over" (c. 1733-1762) by Jean Moyreau depicts a group of hunters crossing a river on horseback, their dogs at their side. The scene is rendered in a delicate etching style, conveying the light and airy atmosphere of the outdoors. The artist uses subtle shading to suggest depth and distance, drawing the viewer's eye to the action in the foreground. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of energy and adventure, showcasing the skill of the artist and the popular subject of hunting in 18th-century art.
