About Artwork: (Probably about 1670) "In this enormous painting, Philips Koninck shows us a panorama of the Dutch countryside under a vast sky. What seems an almost deserted stretch of land is actually peopled with many figures: the women washing clothes in the stream, a man fishing and a small figure brandishing a stick as he rides a make-believe hobby horse. On the road, to the left, is the hawking party. Coming round a bend near a grassy mound topped with scrubby bushes, an elegant man in a feathered hat points away across the countryside. Beside him, a woman in a white bonnet and shawl rides side saddle. In front of them, a servant carries their hooded hawks on a frame hanging from his shoulders, one bird fluttering its wings to keep balance as he strides along. Far behind them, beyond another couple on horseback, a second servant hurries along to catch them up. A hawk sits on his wrist and his dogs run beside him." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
