Getting Ready for the Hunt (Medieval Scene) Tile

This design features a painting by the Canadian artist Paul Peel (1860–1892). It depicts an imagined scene in a medieval European village. The people of the community are preparing for a hunt, in order to get food for the villagers. There are two boys who are working with dogs and keeping them under control. A man with a rifle on his back is leading a brown horse through the main gate out of the village. The architecture is impressive, with grand stone walls and some other buildings with a thatched roof. There is a stone well beside the boys and their dogs. The weather is sunny and there are a few white birds flying in the sky. The original artwork was painted by Paul Peel in 1886.
