This picture exemplifies Kobell’s small, jewel-like Begegnungsbilder, or "encounter pictures," which depict meetings between peasants, mounted horsemen, or gentry, usually in scenic locales in the southeast German region of Bavaria. Here, a hunter and his dog (a Riesenbracke) appear alongside a small boy and a young peasant woman who wears the traditional costume of the region around Munich. Behind them is a sweeping view across the banks of the Isar River toward the city’s skyline. Kobell made a companion painting to this one, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
