Groep zwijnen op de vlucht voor twee jagers te paard c. 1850 - 1885

This lithograph by Karl Bodmer, titled "Groep zwijnen op de vlucht voor twee jagers te paard," depicts a dramatic scene of a boar hunt. Created between 1850 and 1885, the artwork captures the chaos and excitement of the chase. In the foreground, a herd of wild boars frantically flee through a dense forest, their bodies contorted as they navigate the uneven terrain. Two horsemen, barely visible in the distance, pursue the boars, adding a sense of urgency to the scene. The stark contrast between the dark figures of the boars and the light, airy background emphasizes the movement and energy of the hunt, making this a captivating depiction of a classic outdoor activity.
