Richard Gaywood's 1671 engraving, *Valkenjacht op reigers en eenden* (Falconry of Herons and Ducks), depicts a hunting scene. The print is characteristic of Gaywood's style, with fine lines and detailed depiction of the scene. It is likely that the print is from a larger series, possibly the *Book of Sports*. The print shows a group of men on horseback, using falcons to hunt birds in flight. The artist focuses on the drama of the hunt, with birds in flight, dogs chasing, and men pointing and urging their falcons forward. The print is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
