Death of Adonis

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with rolling hills transitioning into a distant mountain range. A tree with a thick trunk and spreading branches is central in the composition. Close to us, there is a wild boar and hunting dogs depicted with intricate etching. The style features precise linework capturing textures, with a monochromatic color palette of brown and sepia. Trees and foliage fill the scene, creating texture across the image.
