About the piece
Painted around 1700 by Jan Weenix, this hunting still life exemplifies the artist's legendary skill in rendering natural textures. The composition centers on a suspended drake and a smaller songbird, contrasted against a dark, atmospheric setting of wild thistles and a gnarled tree. The work captures the dramatic lighting and refined finish characteristic of the late Dutch Golden Age.
