Hunting Scene

This genre painting depicts hunters in action. The scene features two distinct groups of hunters: one hunting a pheasant with a falcon, while the other is armed with rifles in search of prey. By juxtaposing the traditional method of falconry with the modern practice of rifle hunting, the painting holds historical significance, capturing the transitional changes in hunting customs during Joseon's shift to modernity.
