About the piece

Painted in 1684 by the renowned artist Jan Weenix, this grand-scale still life is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age hunting tradition. The work showcases extraordinary skill in rendering varied textures—from the soft, luminous feathers of the central swan to the iridescent plumage of the peacock and the glossy coat of the spaniel. Set against a moody twilight garden featuring a classical fountain and cherub sculpture, the composition offers a dramatic and opulent focal point for traditional interiors.
