About the piece

Painted in 1671 by Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, this trompe l'oeil work captures the regal equipment used for parforce hunting. The composition features a brass hunting horn, a richly decorated gold-mounted dagger, and a vibrant red sash, all rendered with such precision they appear to hang realistically against the painted wood grain background.
