Tapestry of woven coloured wools and silks on S plied woollen warp threads. It is partly backed with strips of blue linen. It has a central field in which are several groups of people set within a landscape and surrounded by wide borders filled with decorative motifs. On the left in the foreground are a lady and a gentleman standing together, the lady holding a mirror; on the right another elegantly-dressed couple are sitting side-by-side, the gentlemand playing a lute.

In the countryside around the two couples are huntsmen on foot and on horseback, brandishing weapons and blowing horns. In the centre in the middle distance is a large horned animal at bay, being attacked by hounds and on whom the hunters are converging. There are tall trees on either side of the tapestry, and among them are small birds and animals such as foxes.

In the foreground are a cluster of irises and other naturalistically-drawn flowers. About a third of the background is taken up by a large country house with a walled formal garden and wooded hills behind. Only a very narrow strip of sky is visible.

Around the tapestry are wide borders in which are vases of fruit and flowers with grotesques and masques separating each decorative group. There are many human figures, probably mythological or legendary beings since they include Hercules and the Nemean Lion, Diana and Cupid.
