Stilleven met pauw, wild en muziekinstrumenten 1861 - 1889

"Stilleven met pauw, wild en muziekinstrumenten" (Still Life with Peacock, Game and Musical Instruments) is a 19th-century etching by German artist William Unger, now held at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a rich still-life arrangement featuring a peacock, a variety of game, and a collection of musical instruments. The meticulous detail and dramatic chiaroscuro of the etching are characteristic of Unger's style, which was influenced by the Dutch Golden Age masters. Unger's work often explored themes of transience and the beauty of the natural world, often utilizing still-life compositions to convey those concepts.
