About the piece

Painted in 1738 by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, this still life showcases the artist's masterful ability to render diverse textures, from the cold gleam of silver to the soft feathers of a pheasant. The composition is anchored by a richly patterned Turkish carpet, reflecting the luxury and global influences of the French Enlightenment. It is a quintessential example of the sophisticated hunting-themed still life popular in European courts.
