Description:
Plate 5 of a series of 23 prints featuring monkeys acting as humans in various figural scenes. In an outdoor setting, a figure of a male monkey dressed as a gentleman hunter, wearing a waistcoat with buttons, tunic, and pants. He holds a falcon wearing blinders (a hood concealing the bird's eyes) in his left hand and turns to face the left. In his right hand, he holds the leash of a hunting dog--the hound has its eyes near the ground at left.
