Islandic gerfalcon, unknown
A hand is holding the claws of a gerfalcon's claws. It is stretched into the painting from left side, dressed in a leather glow and a blue and red uniforms sleeve. The bird's head is covered with a cap. This cap is embroidered in gold and silver with an electorial crown, on top of it a crest of red, yellow, white and blue yarns. Around the bird's legs little bells are fastened. The hand and the bird are seen against a background of a light blue sky with some clouds above a low horizon with a sloping range of mountains.
