Still life 1842

This still life painting by Elisabeth Iosetta Hoopstad, created in 1842, showcases a traditional composition of hunted game and seasonal fruit. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes render the textures of the pheasant, partridges, and grapes with remarkable realism. The inclusion of a hunting bag and a shotgun adds a sense of the hunt, while the overflowing basket of fruit symbolizes abundance. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details speak to the artistic skill of this lesser-known 19th-century Dutch artist.
