"Five dead birds" is a detailed drawing by German artist Philipp Ferdinand de Hamilton, depicting five different types of birds lying on a dark grey background. The artist carefully rendered the feathers and anatomical features of each bird, including a bullfinch, a goldfinch, a greenfinch and a blue tit. The painting exemplifies the popular 17th century artistic trend of still life, specifically the "dead game" genre, and was likely commissioned by an avid bird enthusiast.
