About the piece

Produced in the workshop of Frans Snijders around 1650, this oil painting is a masterful example of the Flemish game piece. The composition displays an abundance of textures—from the coarse fur of the boar and stag to the glistening shell of the lobster and the soft feathers of the parrot—creating a powerful statement of seventeenth-century prosperity and craftsmanship.
