Spaniels Stalking Rabbits in the Dunes
by FYT, Jan, Oil on canvas, 119 x 187 cm
This painting is unusual in Jan Fyt’s oeuvre in its monumental scale, and also in its lively depiction of the animals in their natural habitat, in contrast to Fyt’s more conventional depiction of game already captured, or displayed as a trophy guarded by dogs.
The painting is signed and dated lower centre on a rock: Joannes.FYT/1658.
