About the piece

Created in 1671 by Francis Barlow, often called the father of English sporting painting, this work captures a lively array of waterfowl and songbirds. Set against an expansive Italianate landscape with dramatic, light-filled clouds, the painting combines naturalistic observation with the grand tradition of European landscape painting.
