Genre scenes depicting every day life became popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century in all different artistic media. Hunting was a fashionable sport and scenes like this one were common. This goblet is a masterful example of architecture and landscape etching, featuring a castle, a hunter by a duck pond, and a farmhouse.
