About the piece

Attributed to Jan Baptist Weenix and dated to 1649, this painting is a masterful example of the 17th-century hunting still life. The composition features a meticulously rendered spaniel guarding a diverse haul of game birds, showcasing the artist's ability to capture the contrasting textures of soft fur and delicate plumage against a somber, twilight background.
