Copper engraving by Jan Collaert (ca. 1561-1620), after Joannes Stradanus (1523-1605), published by Philips Galle (1537-1612), ca. 1594 in: "Venationes Ferarum, auium, piscium pvgnae Bestiariorum". A series of prints about hunting. Depiction of leopards jumping to a pot of human excrement hung in a tree by hunters. The frequent jumping makes the animals tired and they are easy prey for the two hunters hidden in the forest. The print is part of a series about hunting scenes. The print has a 4-line Latin caption by Cornelis Kiliaan (ca.1529-1607) and is numbered 15. Source: Rijksmuseum, 2015.
