About the piece

Painted circa 1650 by Flemish master Jan Fyt, this work is a quintessential example of the 'hunting trophy' still life genre. Fyt’s exceptional skill in rendering naturalistic textures is on full display, from the soft fur of the hare to the delicate plumage of the birds, all punctuated by the stark white of the draped linen against an atmospheric, dark backdrop.
