Formerly recorded as an anonymous Dutch work, this oil on canvas painting was identified by Matías Díaz Padrón in 1979. Wildens specialised in landscapes and hunting scenes, often combining the two together, as is the case of this work in which we see two characters with hounds on the bottom waiting for an approaching group of hunters on horseback. Wildens lends the utmost importance to the detailed treatment of the vegetation, suffusing his works with a sense of peacefulness and tranquillity.

The extensive greenish blue areas of the trees, contrasting with the chestnut hues of the earth and the rural architecture, convey a serenity and calmness to the composition in striking contrast with the dramatic conception of windswept stormy landscapes practiced by Rubens (1577-1640), a master and friend of Wildens, with whom he occasionally collaborated, painting the backgrounds of his works, as he also did with Paul de Vos (1596-1678) and Frans Snyders (1579-1657).
