About the piece

Attributed to the Flemish master Jan Fyt, this 1647 composition is a classic example of the hunting still life genre. The work features an intricate study of varied plumage, a rustic wooden birdcage, and a coiled net, all set within a moody landscape that reflects the sophisticated chiaroscuro of the Baroque era.
