About the piece
Painted around 1600, this oil study by Flemish master Jan Brueghel the Elder showcases three roebuck heads in varying profiles. The work highlights the artist's keen observational skills, with fine brushwork defining the texture of the fur and the structure of the antlers, all set against the natural, warm grain of the wooden panel support.
