About the piece

Painted in 1892 by Eugène Joors, this work captures a collection of waterfowl in the grand tradition of Flemish hunting still lifes. The composition utilizes deep earth tones and expert brushwork to highlight the varied textures of plumage against a weathered wooden background, creating a grounding and atmospheric presence. It reflects the 19th-century fascination with naturalist detail and the quiet drama of the still life genre.
