About this work

This painting shows a dead bird, likely a pheasant, lying on a cloth. Nearby are a few scattered papers, a small wrapped package, and a wooden bowl with a bird inside. The colors are mostly muted—dull yellows, browns, and grays—with some darker shadows. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The bird’s feathers blend into the background, almost like it’s fading into the fabric. Check out impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
