"Still Life Teal, Woodcock And Thrush. Oil On Canvas."
A charming still life of game from the French School of the late 19th century, delicately depicting a teal, a woodcock, and a thrush. Painted in oil on canvas, this composition evokes the hushed atmosphere of bourgeois interiors of the time, when art celebrated refinement and tradition. In this carefully restored work, presented in a regilded frame, every detail pays homage to the beauty of the game, in a setting typical of the genre. Still life, as a pictorial genre, allows us to freeze the moment, while evoking the social status of the hunter, for whom these trophies represented a sign of distinction and belonging to an elite.
