Descripción
Still lifes depicting an arrangement of poultry, duck, suckling pig, hare, rabbit, or any other type of game. Because game hunting was reserved for nobility, some historians believe that people of lesser rank purchased these works in an effort to associate themselves with the more privileged class. This type of still life developed in the second half of the 17th century.
