About the piece
Created around 1850 by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz de la Peña, this expressive work is a hallmark of the Barbizon school's atmospheric style. The scene depicts a falcon startling two children and their spaniels as it takes wing from a rustic wooden perch. Díaz's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the dramatic, warm sky and the thick, painterly application of oil that gives the landscape its rich, textured presence.
