Wurgfalke. Hardenberg. 1982 or 1987.
Comments from Charlie Boterletter with many thanks to him:
Margareth Hardenberg is a German artist who had worked in Abu Dhabi for a period and must have had one or two exhibitions in the UAE. I have pictures of a private collection stored somewhere in Germany of about ten paintings, all made by her during her stay in the UAE. The image shown here is most likely the chief falconer of HH the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of whom I have some photos taken during 1976. Attached another painting made around the early eighties.
Painting of the chief falconer is uploaded above as well.
The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
