The Hunter & Falconer: A Medieval Nobleman Hunts in the Forest — Falcon on the Glove, Crossbow over the Shoulder
Recommended materials
This is how it could look
Atmospheric medieval hunting scene combining falconry and crossbow hunting. Main figure: a nobly dressed medieval hunter/falconer (a lord or knight in elegant but practical hunting attire — leather breeches, a belted tunic, tall leather boots, a hunting cap or hood with a short feather). On the left arm: a thick leather falconry glove, on which sits a beautiful trained hunting falcon — wings slightly spread, eyes keen, wearing a small falconry hood over its eyes. He holds the falcon's jesses (leather leg straps). Over his right shoulder: a crossbow — a powerful weapon with a cranked loading mechanism. At his belt: a hunting horn and a knife/dagger. Setting: a dense dark forest of oak and pine, shafts of sunlight through the canopy. A deer or hare visible through the trees in the background. A hunting dog (sleek Greyhound or Bloodhound) at the hunter's side, nose to the ground.
