This is a vintage black and white illustration depicting a falconer on horseback with an owl perched on his arm. The style is reminiscent of a woodcut or engraving, with detailed linework and shading. The falconer is dressed in what appears to be historical attire, including a hat, coat, and breeches. He is seated on a horse that is rearing up on its hind legs, creating a dynamic and dramatic pose. The owl is prominently featured, perched on the falconer's gloved arm. The background shows a landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a cloudy sky. The composition is set on a small hill, giving the viewer a slightly elevated perspective. The overall mood is one of action and perhaps a bit of wildness, typical of falconry scenes. The image is labeled 'The Falconer with the “Grand Duc” or Eagle-Owl' and is attributed to 'Ridinger'.
