About the piece

This 1651 oil painting by Hinrich Stravius is a masterful example of the trompe-l'oeil hunting still life. The composition features a variety of game birds, including vibrant bullfinches and a lapwing, rendered with extraordinary attention to the delicate details of their feathers and life-like form against a stark, shadowed wall.
