About the piece

Painted in 1740 by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, this masterful oil on canvas captures the dachshund Pehr in a moment of quiet contemplation. Beside him rest the hallmarks of the hunt: a finely crafted rifle and a suspended pheasant and hare, rendered with the meticulous detail and luminous texture Oudry is celebrated for.
