The vibrant color lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the dramatic moment when the king's horse was killed under him. In this heart-wrenching scene, two members of his entourage are also injured. The illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on December 23,1906, providing a visual account of this fateful hunting expedition. It depicts the chaos and danger that can befall even those in positions of royalty while engaging in blood sports like hunting. The image portrays a startled group of hunters on horseback, their faces filled with shock and concern as they witness the unfortunate incident unfold before them. The majestic horses rear up in fear and confusion amidst the commotion caused by the wild boar. King Carlos I is shown wearing traditional hunting attire, emphasizing his passion for this sport. However, tragedy strikes unexpectedly as he loses his beloved steed to an untimely death. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder that no one is exempt from accidents or misfortune, regardless of their social status or position within society.
