The Start of the Hunt

Amerikanische Volkskunst, hacia 1800

The artwork depicts a hunting scene at sunrise. Closest to us, three riders on horses, two white and one brown, are accompanied by a pack of hounds. The central rider holds a whip, pointing it skyward, while another rider plays a horn. In the distance, two more riders on brown horses are visible, partially obscured by trees. The horizon is low, with the sun rising over distant hills, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The sky transitions from a bright, radiant sun to soft blues and pinks. The painting style features smooth brushstrokes and a warm, earthy color palette, emphasizing the lush greenery and the atmosphere of the hunt.
