This engraving from the 16th century showcases a unique hunting technique employed by a skilled hunter. Created by Jan van der Straet, also known as Joannes Stradanus, this artwork depicts a hunter utilizing an unconventional companion in his pursuit of rabbits - a leopard. The scene is set amidst lush European countryside, with the hunter donning traditional summer clothes and an elegant hat. Mounted on horseback, he commands attention as he directs his leopard towards its prey. The leopard's powerful presence and wild beauty are captured flawlessly in this intricate engraving.
