About the piece
Painted in 1672 by Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, this work is a quintessential example of the trompe l'oeil genre, designed to trick the viewer's eye into seeing painted objects as three-dimensional. The composition features two dead birds suspended against a dark, frayed canvas that appears to be pinned to a vertical wood board, showcasing the artist's masterful ability to render diverse textures and depth.
