Still-Life with Game-Birds is a 1650 oil by Gottfried Libalt, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
In the painting, a young boy sits on a bench, surrounded by an assortment of dead game birds and vegetables. The boy is dressed in a green shirt and white apron, with his hands occupied with a bird. The background is dark, with a few birds hanging from the wall. The boy's attire and the variety of game birds suggest a scene from a 17th-century hunting lodge or market. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail create a sense of realism in the scene. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the life and paintings of Gottfried Libalt.
