放鷹捕獵，阿拉伯語中稱為「飛行狩獵」，在伊朗、土耳其和阿拉伯國家被視為是一種高尚的活動。能高飛的黑眼蒼鷹是最珍貴的獵鷹，畫中的黃眼拳鷹是訓練低飛捕捉鵪鶉和鷓鴣的。經過訓練的獵鷹就會戴上如畫中的鈴鐺。在16世紀最後的25年裡，伊朗皇室外的人們也開始資助繪畫活動，含數幅單張畫的畫冊也隨之越來越流行。
Falconry, known in Arabic as "the flying hunt", enjoyed high status inIran, Turkey, and the Arab lands. While black-eyed, high-flying goshawks were the most valuable falcons, yellow-eyed fist-hawks like the one in this painting were trained for low flying at quail and partridge. Once trained, falcons were fitted with bells, as seen here. In the last quarter of the 16th century single-page paintings and drawings for inclusion in albums became increasingly popular as the patronage of paintings extended beyond royal circles in Iran. ■資料：香港藝術館
