Summary
Oil painting on canvas, A Hunting Scene, attributed to Lambert de Hondt the elder (Mechelen/Malines c.1620 - before 1665), 1640/60. Beneath a bluff at the left of the wooded bank of a river are three figures; an elegant youth in 17th-century dress with a falcon and two spaniels, a keeper blowing a horn and a boy with greyhounds. The bag is laid out in front and includes a boar and a fox. In Martha Chute's uncoloured drawing of the Saloon, of c.1860, the picture is shown, in its present - and no doubt original - frame, to the left of the overmantel. 1880s Notes, as in the Chapel Parlour: "Hunting Scene (Muntz copy of Teniers, principal figure said to be Horace Walpole)"
