About the piece
Painted by Flemish master Jan Fyt around 1650, this dynamic work showcases his renowned skill in depicting animal textures and life-like movement. The composition centers on a bittern with spread wings surrounded by ducks, all recoiling from the sudden appearance of dogs amidst the tall reeds under a moody, atmospheric sky. The painting is a hallmark of the 17th-century Flemish tradition of specialized animal painting.
