The 18th-century painting shows a scene after the hunt. The Blenheim Spaniel stands proudly next to the poultry he has collected. The artist may have borrowed the dog from a print after a design by the 17th-century painter Johan le Ducq from the Hague. With hunting trophies on display, scenes after the hunt have their precursors in 17th-century still life paintings. There, shot hares, ducks, pheasants etc., were lavishly displayed on a beautifully set the table. This genre of painting allowed the artist to show his skills in the representation of various textures. The hunting still-lives often decorated the townhouses of wealthy persons. After all, hunting referred to a pastime of the privileged in society. Paintings with trophies of the hunt remained popular during the 19th century.
