Catalogue Note
La tableau que nous présentons est une autre version de l'oeuvre conservée à la National Gallery de Londres: Philippe-François d'Arenberg salué par un groupe de cavaliers (inv. N.G. 1447). On remarque cependant que sur notre tableau, les visages des personnages ont été modifiés et le groupe des chiens de chasse et leur valet endormis, sur la droite de la composition de la National Gallery, n'apparaissent pas sur notre tableau. Ce groupe qui a valu pendant longtemps au tableau du musée le titre de La partie de chasse, aurait été peint comme une allusion à la passion de Philippe Charles d'Arenberg, sujet principal du tableau et probablement commanditaire de l'oeuvre.
La composition de la National Gallery, datée de 1662, est le dernier tableau connu daté de la période flamande de Van der Meulen. Cette oeuvre annonce déjà sa production française de peinture de cour. Notre tableau pourrait être une oeuvre de la période flamande comme une reprise de la composition qui aurait été adaptée à un commanditaire français.
