About the piece

Painted in 1709 by Jan Weenix, this masterful work exemplifies the refined Dutch style of hunting still lifes. The composition centers on a remarkably detailed hare and game birds, juxtaposed with the lush textures of peaches and grapes and the presence of a small monkey. The scene is set before the sprawling vistas and architectural features of a formal classical estate, blending naturalism with aristocratic grandeur.
