Stilleven met dode haas 1857

Jacobus Cornelis Gaal’s “Stilleven met dode haas” (1857) is a detailed etching depicting a still life of a dead hare hanging from a hook and a smaller hare laying on a ledge with a hunting horn. The composition is arranged in a dark, almost shadowy environment, highlighting the realistic detail of the hares' fur and the intricate design of the horn. This artwork is a testament to Gaal’s mastery of the etching technique and his keen observation of nature, exemplifying the Dutch tradition of still life art. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
