About the piece
This 1870 oil painting by Germain Ribot exemplifies the 19th-century fascination with the 'nature morte' genre. Set against an ink-black background, the white and earthy plumage of the game birds and the iridescent interior of the oyster shell catch the light, creating a moody and sophisticated composition that evokes the atmosphere of a classic European kitchen or study.
