This tapestry, with a hunting scene seen through a porticoed foreground and with ruins in the distance, relates to a tapestry sold from the collection of Rudolf Nureyev, Christie's New York, 12 January 1995, lot 319. This tapestry is closely related to a group of tapestries illustrating the story of Vertumnus and Pomona in the Royal Palace, Madrid, illustrated in P. Junquera de Vega and C. Herrero Carretero, Catalogo de Tapices del Patrimonio Nacional, Madrid, 1986, vol. I, pp. 105-115, woven by Wilhelm de Pannemaker (d. 1578) after a cartoon attributed to Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen (d. 1559). In both instances, however, the borders are floral with figures of the virtues, while this lot shows youths within a strapwork border. A tapestry, the design of whose border is attributed to Cornelis Floris, which displays an almost identical lynx, is illustrated in H. Schmitz, Bildteppiche, Berlin, 1921, p. 239, illus. 122. A tapestry of related subject was sold anonymously in these Rooms, 8 December 1988, lot 216
