sowhunt

Sowhunt, a painting by Jan Weenix (1703-1716), depicts a hunting scene. 



The painting shows a light-colored dog attacking a boar, which lies on the ground, seemingly already dead or wounded. Another dog is partially visible behind the main dog. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and a distant view of what appears to be a valley or plain. The sky is a soft, pale blue and yellow, suggesting either dawn or dusk. In the foreground, on a stone ledge, are hunting implements, including a gun and what looks like a hunting bag or pouch. The overall style is characteristic of 17th-century Dutch genre painting, with a focus on realism and detail. The painting is 2.137 meters wide and 3.459 meters high and is housed in the Alte Pinakothek.
