About the piece

Painted around 1615 by the pioneering Flemish artist Clara Peeters, this work is a superb example of the early Baroque 'game piece.' The composition features a peregrine falcon perched alertly atop its quarry, surrounded by a variety of brilliantly feathered birds and a rustic basket. Peeters' characteristic attention to detail and dramatic use of light create a powerful, atmospheric presence.
