EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th century print captures the essence of a noblewoman's participation in a hunt, an activity reserved for the privileged classes during this era. The image showcases the woman's private carriage, adorned with intricate designs and luxurious fabrics, as she travels to the hunt site in comfort and style. Her ladies-in-waiting accompany her, some on horseback and others on foot, dressed in elegant gowns and carrying hunting equipment. The hunt itself was a popular pastime among the nobility, who saw it as a display of wealth, power, and sporting prowess. The hunt provided an opportunity for socializing, as well as for testing the skills of the hunters and their hounds. The quarry could range from hares and foxes to larger game such as boar and deer. The print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the 15th century aristocracy, with the noblewoman's carriage serving as a symbol of her status and wealth. The women following her on foot or on horseback add to the scene's charm, highlighting the camaraderie and companionship that were integral to the hunt. This print is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt as a symbol of nobility and luxury.
