In this intricate artwork, we see Queen Catherine de Medicis mounted on her horse, accompanied by an Amazon warrior. They are engaged in the exhilarating pursuit of falcons under the watchful gaze of King Henry II. The setting is the enchanting forest of Fontainebleau, known for its beauty and rich history. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this royal hunting expedition during the 16th century. The queen's regal presence is evident as she confidently rides her horse while holding a walking stick or cane. Horses play a significant role in this image, with various breeds depicted including racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions.
