Description: | This painting, along with its three pendants, is a dessus-de-porte, a composition made especially to decorate the wall above a doorway. Even though it is in the manner of Jacques Charles Oudry (son of Jean-Baptiste Oudry, the famous still-life and hunting scene painter), there is doubt as to whether this painting was actually executed by the hand of the master himself, as some of his works appear more finished than this. The fashion for this sort of hunting scene was at its height around the mid-eighteenth century, the time when Oudry painted such pictures, hence the approximate dates given to the painting. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (dog; partridge) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Oudry, Jacques Charles (French painter, born 1722 or 1723, died 1778) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8958... | Go to resource |
