A group of four blue bulls feed in scrubland near a pond, while four imperial huntsmen are hiding behind camouflage screens. In the distance there is a hunting party with elephants, horses, and flags.

The other side of this page of the album page once carried a European engraving showing the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel.
