About the piece

This 1646 oil painting by Jan Fyt is a superb example of the Flemish Baroque hunting still life. The composition centers on the iridescent plumage of a dead peacock, contrasted with the coarse fur of a boar's head and the soft pelt of a rabbit, all rendered with meticulous attention to detail and atmosphere.
