The Stag Hunt

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape seen from an elevated position, featuring a countryside scene with houses, trees, foliage, and a hunting scene with people, horses, and dogs. Hills in the distance show more trees and a faint outline of a church steeple. The artist uses fine line engravings to create texture, with a monochromatic color palette typical of a traditional etching.
