The return home from the hawk hunt

"The return home from the hawk hunt" is a 1655 painting by Philips Wouwerman, currently held in the Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel. 



The artwork depicts a pastoral scene, likely of a hunting party returning home. The painting shows several figures on horseback, some carrying hawks, moving along a path near a body of water. There are other figures on foot, and dogs are also present. The background includes a landscape with trees, buildings in the distance, and a relatively calm sky. The overall style is characteristic of Dutch Golden Age landscape painting, with attention to detail in the figures, animals, and the natural environment.
