Wolvenjacht 1625 - 1633

"Wolvenjacht" (Wolf Hunt) is an etching created by Pieter Serwouters between 1625 and 1633. The print depicts a dramatic scene of a wolf hunt, with a group of hunters pursuing a wolf through a wooded landscape. The scene showcases the skill and bravery of the hunters, who are armed with spears and muskets, as well as the ferocity of the wolf. The scene is captured with detail and realism, highlighting the contrasting emotions of the hunters and the wolf. This small but powerful etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Serwouters’ mastery of the genre of hunting scenes.
