Halt of the hunters by the wayside thatched roof cottage, which serves the purpose of an inn. A servant girl, or perhaps the proprietor herself, has given one of the riders a glass of beer, while the man with the horn attends to the dogs, which, like the horses, are thoroughbreds.
Alphonse was an artist, widely known and a good friend to the famous Alsacian artist Henner, who had opened a museum in Paris. He was fond of painting horses in a realistic style, close to the artist Rosa Bonheur. He was quite well known and some of his paintings still hang in the Belfort museum which he founded. His son Victor also studied art work but joined the military rather than follow his father’s career as an artist.
