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.
