After the Boar Hunt 1876

Otto Bache's "After the Boar Hunt" (1876) depicts the aftermath of a successful hunt, capturing the scene in a rustic interior. A bearded hunter cleans his rifle while a young girl looks on, surrounded by three dogs, one of whom is inspecting the carcass of the boar. The painting, known for its detailed realism and attention to detail, showcases Bache's mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to capture the raw energy of the moment. This genre painting is a poignant representation of the hunter's world and its rituals. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
