Still Life with a Hare and other Game 1697

Jan Weenix's "Still Life with a Hare and other Game" (1697) is a classic example of Dutch still-life painting, often referred to as "pronkstilleven" or "ostentatious still-life". The work, which measures 114.5 cm in height and 96 cm in width, depicts a variety of game, including a hare, two partridges, and a small bird. The composition is arranged in a dramatic and visually appealing manner, with the hare lying on the ground, its body contorted in an unnatural pose. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, while the inclusion of a background landscape suggests a connection to the natural world.
