This painting depicts a still life of game, featuring four plovers. The birds are arranged on a table, with one standing upright and the others lying down. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic representation of the birds and their feathers. The painting is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. The artist has also used impasto, applying thick layers of paint to create a textured surface. The overall effect is one of realism and attention to detail. The painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
