This painting shows dead birds hanging from a dark background. There’s a pheasant with its feathers still partly spread, a duck with a broken neck, and a few smaller birds tangled together. The colors are mostly browns and blacks, with some green and red feathers standing out. The birds look real but are painted in a way that makes them feel almost lifelike. The dark background helps them pop out, like they’re the only thing in the room. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
