About this work

Hunting Birds at Night by Jean-François Millet depicts two men in a dense, dark thicket lit by a bright torch-like glow. One figure raises a stick overhead while the other reaches upward toward the foliage, and small birds appear amid the leaves. Dark shapes lie on the ground in the foreground, suggesting the results of the hunt.
