🖼 Still-Life with Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl, c. 1639
Oil on canvas
145 × 135 cm

Two iridescent peacocks sprawl across a dark table beside a young servant, rendered in rich impasto with dramatic chiaroscuro. The painting transforms humble game into a meditation on mortality, luxury, and human insignificance within Dutch Golden Age prosperity.
