The scene depicted by the painter Francisco de Goya shows two different types of hunting: on foot and on horseback (as well as small game). It was part of the first commission the master from Zaragoza received for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Bárbara in 1774-75, although the composition was the invention of Francisco Bayeu. This scene was in keeping with the monarchs’ use of the Royal Site of El Escorial, where they spent the autumn. This composition also formed part of the dining room set for the Princes of Asturias (Charles IV and Maria Luisa of Parma)
