About this work

A still life of dead game birds, with partridge-like birds hanging from a cord and a white bird with bloodied head lying on a stone ledge beside a small duck. The dramatic chiaroscuro lighting falls on the plumage, and a sack or basket fills the shadowed left side. This Dead Game painting by Ferdinand Bol dates from 1646 and is held by the Hermitage Museum.
