About the piece

Painted by Rembrandt in 1639, this masterpiece captures the iridescent beauty of peacocks within the traditional 'game piece' genre. The composition is defined by its masterful use of light and shadow, drawing the eye between the hanging bird and a young girl peering curiously through a window in the shadowy background.
