Departure for Hunting
The opening sheet to as well early as rarest set
whose “Report of the Dog Handler to the ‘Maître D’Équipage’”
served for the décor of a Meissen vase by Johann Joachim Kaendler

The White Spitsbergen Greenlandic Bear. L’ours blanc de Groenland

With a provenance story as beautiful as rare
close to the immortal Beethoven :
IOH. ELIAS RIDINGER Pictor et Scalptor Augustanus

Still without the 3^rd hare :
Lying in wait for Hares and How They are driven by the Stoberhund
Traced & ruddled preparatory drawing in reverse for Th. 45
from the Dr. Edward Peart Collection

Who won’t admire the grotto :
The Otter have 3 to 4 young ones

Pirouette right on a circle of the length of the horse

Right out of Watteau’s Coquettes and Italian Comedy :
Is the Lady with the Mask the great Charlotte Desmares?

A Stag of 24 points in his lair in the rest

Just outwardly harmless-charming :
The Neglected Household underlayed by symbols of vanity

“Because the bear is a very strong wild … animal”
The Catching of the Bears
