"De vermakelijke groote Jagt" (The Amusing Great Hunt) is a series of six engraved scenes by Dutch artist Johan Noman, depicting the excitement and chaos of a hunting expedition. Printed in 1806-1830, the work features hunters on horseback, dogs, and various animals, including deer, boar, and even a bull, all set against a landscape backdrop. Noman’s detailed illustrations, printed in vibrant colors, were likely popular amongst the Dutch public who enjoyed the lively action and humorous depictions of the hunt. The print’s small dimensions, 386 mm high and 330 mm wide, suggest that it was intended for personal viewing, making it a valuable historical artifact of hunting practices and artistic trends of the early 19th century.
