EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hunters Present" captures a moment of domesticity intertwined with the thrill of the hunt. In this scene, an interior hunter proudly holds up a shot partridge for a seated woman who is engrossed in her sewing. The juxtaposition of these two activities symbolizes the harmony between traditional gender roles and shared experiences. The presence of a big hunting dog next to the man adds an element of loyalty and companionship, while a small dog stands on the woman's table, perhaps seeking attention or offering its own form of support. A beautifully ornamental cupboard adorned with a statue of Cupid stands in the background, adding an air of elegance to this rustic setting. A painting on the wall further enhances the aesthetic appeal and cultural richness within this household. In front, we see a shotgun resting beside a lifeless duck—a testament to both skillful marksmanship and sustenance provided by nature's bounty. To complete this composition, there is also a spiral staircase on the right side—perhaps signaling that these hunters have just returned from their expedition. Painted by Gabriel Metsu between 1658 and 1661 using oil paint on canvas, this artwork measures approximately 51 cm in height and 48 cm in width. It offers us glimpses into daily life during that era while celebrating both human ingenuity and our connection with nature.
