J.G. Pforr - Falconry & hare hunt

 Salvete Omnes, 

a nice Johann Georg Pforr's painting - oil painted on walnut board.

very Wouwerman like


Falconry in action, however the costumes seem odd for 1780s in Central Europe.


.

Roman nosed head of this grey, and interesting saddle, non-English I presume

a very popular docking of the tail - 
.

. and two hunting falcons painted around the period or slightly alter

Icelandic gyrfalcon

a Falcon by Landseer
