Hunting Trophy - French School (20th Century) - Oil on Canvas

Sold

H 54 × B 62 cm

This distinctive work is a classic game still life depicting a pheasant laid out after the hunt. Painted in the tradition of European genre painting, it is set in an imposing gilt-coloured wooden frame. The composition centres on a cock pheasant resting on a dark surface. Its characteristic reddish-brown breast feathers, blue-green head with red markings around the eye, and outspread wings are rendered with close attention to texture and the play of light. The vigorous brushwork leans towards Impressionism. The restrained background of deep greens and earthy tones keeps the focus firmly on the bird. Canvas dimensions: 46 cm high by 55 cm wide Frame dimensions: 54 cm high by 62 cm wide
