An original 18th-century view of a hunting scene led by Ferdinand IV, by Jakob Philipp Hackert. The king, in hunting dress, is riding and hurling a spear at the wild boar. It is the fateful moment: the boar's life hangs in the balance. The dominant colour is light brown. The scene is set on an open stretch of land, with a small wood in the background. The protagonists are the boar and King Ferdinand IV, facing each other.
The painting is on display at the Capodimonte Museum, Naples.
