Hunting scene depicts a small dog nabbing a duck. The animals are in a marsh-like setting with long reed leaves. The vignette is surrounded by an elaborate boarder of garlands and scrolling foliate shapes. This type of painting was used a guide for the creation of the Aubusson tapestries, much as a painter follows a cartoon. Originally the tapestries were hung from walls, however they were later used as floor coverings. Image measures apprx 31"H x 27"W. In carved and gold leaf frame, entire item measures apprx 40"H x 36"W.
