French Hunting Outfit – 1913

Illustration of a young woman in profile view displaying her hunting costume while outdoors on the edge of a forest. She wears a “Scottish green” long jacket trimmed with white, green, and tan Tattersall plaid at waist and sleeve hems, over a matching plaid skirt which reaches just below her knees. The jacket has tassels trimming at the collar and hanging from the waist. She is accessorized with tan gloves, a close-fitting green cap with two feathers, a leather shoulder bag, tan knee-high gaiters over low heeled shoes, and she carries a shotgun. A brown strap crosses her shoulder, perhaps carrying the gun. A brown and white rabbit slowly moves away from her and rather than shooting the rabbit, it appears the young woman encourages it to run back into the forest.
