Still-Life
by SNYDERS, Frans, Oil on canvas, 117 x 179 cm
The main theme of this still-life is abundance: it depicts a buck, a lobster on a China plate, a squirrel in a basket of fruit, artichokes and a boar’s head in a tureen, with birds, a white napkin and asparagus on a draped table.
Frans Snyders specialised in still-life and animal paintings, he and his studio created many similar works to the present composition.
