About the piece
Painted in 1672 by the court painter David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, this oil on canvas work is a sophisticated example of the trompe-l'oeil genre. The composition features two black grouse hanging against a meticulously rendered wooden wall, where the artist captures the tactile contrast between the soft, dark plumage of the birds and the hard, knotted surface of the timber.
