Jager wordt opgeschrikt tijdens het doen van zijn behoefte 1831 - 1846

"Jager wordt opgeschrikt tijdens het doen van zijn behoefte," created by François Grenier between 1831 and 1846, depicts a hunter startled by a bird taking flight. The hunter, crouching with his gun raised, appears to be caught off guard as his dog watches intently. This 19th-century watercolor exemplifies the artistic genre of animal painting and offers a glimpse into the world of hunting in the 19th century. The work, with its detailed depiction of the hunter, dog, and the surrounding landscape, is a testament to Grenier's talent and provides a window into the artist's keen observation of nature. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a unique perspective on the interplay between man and nature in the pursuit of sport.
