This print showcases an exquisite painting titled "Icelandic gerfalcon, 1759" by the German School in the 18th century. The artwork, rendered with oil on canvas, measures 74.5x57 cm and is currently housed at Livrustkammaren (The Royal Armoury) in Stockholm, Sweden. The image depicts a majestic Icelandic gerfalcon perched on a gloved arm adorned with royal livery. This regal bird of prey symbolizes power and nobility as it stands proudly amidst its hunting equipment. A beautifully crafted cuff and gauntlet protect the arm while emphasizing the status of its owner.
