Rectangular painted textile banner centered with a finely rendered depiction of St. Hubertus, patron saint of hunters, shown standing with a stag bearing a crucifix between its antlers. The figure is enclosed within a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and tradition, with additional foliate ornamentation to the corners. The composition is executed in polychrome with gilt highlights on a light ground, bordered by a green fabric surround. Signed and dated lower right “P.J. Jansen 14/1896,” indicating late 19th century Continental workmanship, likely German or Austrian. Such banners were produced for hunting societies and guilds, often carried ceremonially during festivals, parades, or lodge gatherings.
