About the piece
Painted in 1677 by the Dutch master Melchior d'Hondecoeter, this oil-on-canvas work is a quintessential example of the hunting trophy genre. The composition is anchored by a suspended hare, whose textured fur is brilliantly illuminated against a dark, moody background. Accompanied by a flintlock rifle and hunting horn, the piece showcases the artist's ability to create dramatic tension and formal elegance through contrast and detail.
