Nicolaes de Bruyn's "Landschap met hertenjacht" (Landscape with Deer Hunt) from 1607 is a detailed black and white drawing depicting a bustling scene of a deer hunt in a lush forest. The viewer looks down from a hilltop path onto a valley with a village nestled in the distance. In the foreground, a group of hunters and a dog traverse the path while other hunters can be seen in the valley below, showcasing the excitement of the hunt. The drawing is characterized by delicate lines and shading, creating a sense of depth and realism. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the hunting traditions of the Netherlands in the 17th century.
