This composition, incorporating all the attributes of venery (hunting), was most certainly originally made as a trumeau or over a door. It is easy to imagine this beautiful format enthroned above a fireplace or accompanied by other “allegories” of hunting. The bloodhound is here framed by oak branches, surrounded by a hunting trunk below which a whip and a dagger intersect.
