About the piece
Painted in 1735 by Alexandre-François Desportes, this masterful still life exemplifies the refined French Rococo tradition. The composition balances the soft, velvety texture of peaches and the waxy skin of figs against the detailed plumage of a game bird, all set against a dramatic, dark background that highlights the luminous colors of the fruit.
