About the piece

Painted by Samuel Hoffmann in 1612, this work showcases the artist's mastery in rendering diverse textures—from the iridescent plumage of a peacock to the soft fur of a hanging hare and the glossy skin of fresh fruit. Set within a vaulted stone interior, the composition brings together four expressive figures in a lively narrative centered on the abundance of a successful hunt.
