Jan Weenix, 1695 - Gamepiece with a Dead Heron - fine art print

General description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Likely destined for a townhouse, this decorative painting evokes the bounty of the hunt on a country estate. A heron and other dead birds spill out of a game bag next to a large neoclassical urn. The animal trophies figure as a natural feature of the courtly landscape, while the tumult of the hunt remains offstage. In the background, aristocratic figures stroll at the edge of an ornamental pond, complete with gliding swans.
