Español: Un cazador con siete perros, según Pieter van Laer

Un cazador con sombrero de ala ancha y abrigo largo se inclina con un bastón, extendiendo la mano hacia un perro junto a una pared de ladrillo derruida. Varios perros se reúnen en primer plano cerca de un montón de caza muerta, con un árbol sin hojas y colinas lejanas al fondo.
