A hare and a wild duck are beautifully depicted in this pair of still lifes. The two animals are painted realistically and hanging from a tree. In the background, a mountainous landscape opens up in the distance. The meticulous workmanship and the finesse of the brush exemplify the artist's training. Since the Middle Ages, hunting had been the preserve of the aristocracy. Hunting still lifes depicting the kill were a reminder of this privilege, and gave their owners a sense of participating in the aristocratic lifestyle; whether they themselves were of noble, or only affluent middle-class birth.
