Hunters Near Ruins

Jan Baptist Weenix

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a group of people and animals in front of ancient ruins. A man on a white horse wearing a blue and black outfit, a black hat with a feather, and a beaded necklace. He is accompanied by several dogs. A man sits on the ground in front of him, wearing a red shirt and a white headscarf, and another man stands behind him wearing a green outfit. In the background, several other people are seen on horseback or on foot. There are also several cows and other animals. To the right, there is a large stone structure with three columns and a broken pediment on top. The sky is cloudy and blue. The scene appears to be set near a body of water.
