Konijnenjacht c. 1620

"Konijnenjacht" (c. 1620), an etching by Ercole Bazicaluva (1595-1643), depicts two men, one holding a musket, in a landscape setting. The etching is executed in a detailed and realistic style, typical of Bazicaluva's work. The composition is dominated by the figures of the men, who are positioned prominently in the foreground. The landscape, which includes a rocky hill and a distant horizon, serves as a backdrop for the scene. Bazicaluva's work often focused on everyday life and rural scenes, offering viewers a glimpse into the activities and social interactions of the people of his time. The small size of the etching is characteristic of the genre of "small landscapes" popular in the 17th century.
