About the piece
Created around 1650 by Flemish master Pieter Boel, this striking oil on canvas depicts a 'hunting trophy' scene. An owl with outspread wings commands the center of the composition, presiding over a collection of game including a hare and numerous colorful birds, all rendered with meticulous detail against a moody, atmospheric backdrop typical of the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age.
