In the lower left corner, a peasant releases a ferret into the rabbit's hole. The rest of the tapestry depicts the men and women, aided by their dogs, catching the rabbits chased from their holes into waiting nets. In contrast to the richness of the dense forest of oak, holly, and orange trees, the peasants are depicted coarsely, in both their expression and dress. Despite the fact that few tapestries have survived showing peasants at work, inventories indicate that they were once quite common.
