Ein Eber von sieben Hunden im Wald bei einem Felsen gestellt 1750

Johann Elias Ridinger's "Ein Eber von sieben Hunden im Wald bei einem Felsen gestellt" (1750) is a powerful depiction of a boar surrounded and attacked by a pack of hunting dogs. The scene is set in a dense forest, with the foliage obscuring much of the action. The artist's use of pen and ink creates a dynamic composition that captures the raw energy and violence of the hunt. Ridinger, a renowned animal painter, specialized in these types of dramatic depictions of the natural world. His work often illustrated hunting scenes and was popular among nobles and wealthy collectors.
