This tapestry cartoon shows a hunter loading a shotgun, with a dog lying at his feet and other hunters behind him. This work is as fine example of Goya´s interest in Nature. He perfectly integrates the hunter´s figure among the sinuous silhouettes of the trees whose vertical elongation fits the format of this composition. The resulting tapestry was intended to hang in the dining room of the Prince and Princess of Asturias —the future Carlos IV (1748-1819) and his wife, María Luisa de Parma (1751-1819—) at the Monastery of El Escorial, which explains its elongated format. This series was Goya´s first important commission for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Bárbara. The overall subject, hunting, was in keeping with the monarchs´ use of that Royal Seat.
