EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century oil painting depicts a group of princesses engaging in an unconventional hunt, challenging the norms of their time. Dressed in male attire, the princesses proudly display their hunting skills alongside huntsmen, their hunting horns slung over their shoulders and hunting dogs at their feet. The scene is set in the Danish countryside, with the rich colors of the autumn leaves and the rugged terrain providing a picturesque backdrop. The painting, which dates from between 1749 and 1848, is a testament to the unusual fusion of gender roles during this period in Danish history. The princesses, dressed in frock coats and waistcoats, blend seamlessly with their male counterparts, their determination and focus evident in their expressions. The painting's creator remains unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the National Gallery of Denmark's collection, showcasing the country's rich artistic heritage and regionalism. The painting's rustic setting and the use of natural colors add to its charm, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of rural life and royalty. The inclusion of hunting dogs and hunting horns further emphasizes the hunting theme, adding authenticity to the scene. Overall, this painting is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the lives of the Danish princesses and their unusual pastime.
