About the piece
Painted in 1614 by Frans Snyders, this work is a premier example of the Flemish 'monumental still life.' The composition masterfully balances the narrative action of the huntsman with an opulent display of textures, from the soft plumage of birds to the rugged skin of a boar and the delicate vines of grapes.
