Two young dog handlers with two dogs wait under an oak tree for the hunt to begin. The handlers wear clothing of an old-fashioned style more common in the 1500s. The tapestry’s ornate borders, however, are up-to-date, with architectural elements and fruit-and-flower garlands typical of the 1600s. Belgium, Europe
