Summary

Oil painting on canvas, A Dead Swan and Peacock by Jan Weenix (1642-1719), signed and dated J Weenix 1708. A still life with a dead swan and peacock hung from a branch by their foot and neck respectively. Three small gamebirds, poppies and fruit - peaches, grapes, quince - surround them. The still life is arranged before a sculpted urn, with a terracotta statue behind it. A formal garden laid out around a fountain with a central sculpture, perhaps showing Atlas, can be seen in the background.
