About the piece
This 1659 oil painting by Cornelis Lelienbergh is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age game still life. The composition centers on a hung hare and a black rooster, rendered with meticulous detail that highlights the contrasting textures of soft fur and glossy plumage. Set against a backdrop of earthy vegetables and deep, atmospheric shadows, the work demonstrates the 17th-century fascination with the interplay of light and naturalistic detail.
