About the piece
Painted in 1868 by the Belgian master Ferdinand de Braekeleer the Elder, this oil on panel showcases the artist's skill in capturing the warmth of daily life. The scene depicts a hunter in traditional attire dozing on a bench, while a woman leaning from a window playfully dangles a cat above a table set with a simple meal, all bathed in soft, natural light.
