This four-panel screen shows hunters in an imaginary landscape. On the far right a prince or military leader surveys the scene from beneath his luxurious canopy. The riders and bearers wear Mongolian-style fur jackets over their loose clothing. The attendants dressed in red boots and hats are shown presenting a tiger trussed up and tied to a carrying pole for their master's inspection. Elsewhere, another tiger, some deer and a pair of cranes are also under attack from the hunters. The screen dates from the end of the Choson dynasty (1392-1910).
