caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Der Hof des Jagdschlosses an einem Herbstnachmittag von Süden mit einem kleinen Früchte tragenden Vogelbeerbaum und Kastanien die anfangen sich zu verfärben. Der Standort des Malers war in der äußersten Südostecke. Die Tür an der Ostseite ist nicht mehr vorhanden, die Pumpe die damals im östlichen Teil stand steht jetzt im westlichen. Die Staffage zeigt passend zum Jagdschloss zwei von Reitknechten gehaltene Pferde von denen die Jäger abgestiegen sind, von denen einer einen Hasen schleppt. Das Format ist für die Zeit ungewöhnlich groß.
