About this work

You see a dead hare hanging by one leg, two partridges, a hunting horn, and a stone ledge with carved baby angels holding fruit. This painting was made for a hunter’s dining room—proof of a good day’s kill. The artist added the carved angels to show off skill, turning a simple meal into something fancier.
