About the piece

Painted in 1705 by Jan Weenix, a leading specialist in the genre, this work represents the peak of Baroque hunting still lifes. A vigilant, collared dog stands over the day's bounty—a deer and several small birds—set against a brooding landscape that recedes into the soft light of dusk. The piece masterfully balances the tactile realism of fur and feather with an expansive, atmospheric background.
