Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large painting of a boar hunt scene. A green field with gray boars and orange and black tigers fills the center. The field is surrounded by a pink path. A group of people on horseback and on foot are shown at the top, with a few holding red flags. The majority of the onlookers are standing on the grassy areas outside the path. A group of people on the bottom center are gathered around a covered stretcher. People are also gathered along the path and on a raised white platform on the right. A white oxen-pulled cart is on the top right. The scene is framed by a red border. The background of the painting shows a green hillside.
