Three Hunters and Two Dogs near a Pool

Aegidius Sadeler II after Roelandt Savery

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a forest scene with dense foliage and trees, rays of light filtering through the canopy, textured brushstrokes or etchings, a monochromatic color palette of gray and black, fallen trees with exposed roots, and a distant opening with a figure emerging. In the background, there are undulating clouds in the sky.
