Landscape with Huntsman and Dead Game is a 1699 oil by Jan Weenix, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a landscape with a huntsman and dead game. The huntsman is lying on the left side of the image, wearing a brown jacket and white shirt. He's holding a dog's leash, and the dog is sitting next to him. In front of them are various dead animals, including a rabbit, a bird, and a deer. The background is a forest with trees and a cloudy sky. The painting is very detailed, with many different textures and colors. The huntsman's jacket is a deep brown, and the dog's fur is white and black. The dead animals are also very realistic, with feathers and fur that look like they're about to move. The forest background is more muted, with greens and browns that blend together. The artist who painted this is Jan Weenix.
Jan Weenix or Joannis Wenix (between 1641/1649 – 19 September 1719 (buried)) was a Dutch painter.
