Description:
The two large paintings, with contemporary gilded frames, depict two dynamic hunting scenes set in an open landscape. The first scene shows an aristocratic hunt for wolf and fox, while the second depicts a lion hunt. Both compositions are derived from engravings by Boetius Adamsz. Bolswert, based on designs by Peter Paul Rubens.
The style of the works is attributable to the Flemish/Genoese painter Lucas de Wael, primarily known for landscapes and scenes animated by small figures. One of the canvases bears a monogram, an "L de W", compatible with the painter Lucas de Wael, but a collaboration with his brother Cornelis cannot be excluded.
