Grands Chasseurs--Le Cerf est prêt

Félix Vallotton

National Gallery of Art

Two men from the waist up are shown. They are both leaning forward slightly holding rifles. One man has a bald head and the other has short dark hair. Both men have prominent facial features with visible sideburns. They are dressed in uniforms featuring a high collar and horizontal stripes across the chest. One of the men holds a helmet under his arm. In the background, a group of people is gathered in front of a densely wooded area. To the right, a horse is rearing back near a tree. In front of the men is a lavishly decorated chair. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly at a formal event or hunt.
