Created by Johannes van Doetecum I, this engraving showcases the exquisite talent of Jan van Doetechum the Elder in capturing intricate geographical features. In this scene, we see a man fully engrossed in his occupation as a bird-catcher. With his cunning skills and clever traps, he navigates through a picturesque valley surrounded by majestic mountains.
