Description:
Recto, above: Hunters on horseback and on foot are seen from behind, entering the scene from left. They are accompanied by hounds, which trap a stag. In the background at left is a building with a view of diners at a table.
Recto, below: A hunter in the foreground at left uses a pole and rope to hunt for skylarks within the branches of a tree, at center. In the background, another hunter uses a similar pole to catch a quail on the ground. A third man tends to horses at left.
Verso: Blank, except for a small group of connecting ink lines—possibly illegible text or part of a drawing on another sheet.
