Behind the hunter, a hare is fleeing while several dogs race after it on the opposite side of the scene.

The border of the panel is embellished with floral motifs and gilded scrollwork.

The frame is particularly elaborate, adorned with openwork motifs, rocaille, birds, flowers, fruits, butterflies, and small musical instruments, accented with polychrome and gilding.

The plumes are also carved and decorated, with some openwork sections revealing a colored background.
