About this work
Weenix set this luxurious game still life in the park of a country estate. He rendered the soft fur of the hare and the stiff wings of the partridge with his finest brushes. At the right are a hunting horn and a bag. Weenix created the structure of the moss in the foreground by covering the wet paint with wood or paper, which he then immediately removed.
