Dead game birds in a landscape
Canvas, 92 x 117 cm
Signed and dated at lower left: M Simons f 1650
This painting belongs to a distinctive category of works that combine hunting still lifes with landscape. The scenery here, with its steep cliffs bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, strongly recalls the Italianate landscapes of Jan Both.
