The Poachers is a 1835 oil by James Arthur O'Connor, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting shows a dark forest with a group of people in the center. They are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and seem to be doing something secretive. The trees are tall and the leaves are a deep green. The sky is cloudy and the moon is shining through the clouds. The painting is very detailed and the colors are muted. The people in the painting are shown in a way that makes them look like they are trying to hide something. The forest is dense and the trees are close together, which adds to the sense of secrecy. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of artist James Arthur O'Connor.
