About the piece
This 1674 oil painting by Flemish master Pieter Boel is a quintessential example of the 'dead game' still life genre. Utilizing deep shadows and intense highlights, the work showcases the artist's extraordinary ability to render natural textures, from the soft belly of the hare to the delicate feathers of the birds, creating a piece with significant presence and historical weight.
