For the last month of the year, the painter did not retain the traditional iconography of the pig slaughter for christmas and preferred a scene of hunting. It is more precisely about the priest, at the moment when one of the hunters, on the right, finishes ringing the hallali. The dogs cut up the wild boar. The scene takes place in the center of a forest where the trees are still in leaf. On the horizon stands the château de vincennes, completed by charles v, with its central keep and its towers.
