Still Life of a Dead Hare, Partridges, and Other Birds in a Niche is a 1675 oil by Jan Weenix, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a dead hare, a partridge, and other birds arranged in a niche. The hare is positioned upside down, with its legs stretched out, while the birds are placed around it. The niche is dark, with a subtle light shining on the animals. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the brown fur of the hare to the white and brown feathers of the birds. The overall effect is one of stillness and quiet, as if the animals have been frozen in time.
