About the piece
Attributed to Nicasius Bernaerts and dating to approximately 1700, this oil painting is a classic example of the hunting still life genre. The work features a variety of game birds resting on a masonry ledge, with the artist paying meticulous attention to the soft, layered textures of the feathers and the cold, hard surface of the stone, all dramatized by deep chiaroscuro lighting.
