About the piece
Painted in 1734 by Alexandre-François Desportes, this work is a quintessential example of the French 'chasse' or hunt still life. The composition masterfully balances the tactile textures of soft feathers and raw meat against the polished sheen of a copper pot and the vibrant skins of citrus and pears, capturing a sense of abundance with meticulous realism.
