EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Dutch Skit on Falconry" takes us back to the 18th century in Holland. The image captures a humorous scene set in the countryside, where a group of men and women are engaged in falconry. The complexity of this traditional hunting practice is evident as we see horses, dogs, and birds all playing their roles. Amidst the action, a lady stands out with her parasol, adding an elegant touch to the otherwise rustic setting. Her presence highlights the participation of women in this male-dominated activity during that era. The concept of falconry is brought to life through this monochrome engraving, showcasing both its historical significance and entertainment value. The print's intricate details transport us into a world filled with laughter and camaraderie. A ladder leans against one of the trees nearby while another man on horseback seems caught up in some comedic moment. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Dutch humor prevalent at that time. Originally published in 1916 by Otto Limited for The Connoisseur magazine, this fascinating piece has been preserved over time by The Print Collector29 collection. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also how art can transcend centuries and continue to captivate audiences even today.
