Still Life with Dead Game is a 1720 oil by Johan Baptist Govaerts, a Rococo painting work, depicting Hunting, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a still life of dead game, including a rabbit, a pheasant, and a duck. A hunting horn and a rifle are also depicted, leaning against a tree. The scene is set outdoors, with trees and bushes in the background. The painting features a mix of warm and cool colors, with the game and hunting gear rendered in earthy tones. The trees and foliage are depicted in shades of green, while the sky above is a soft blue. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures of the game and hunting gear.
