Specialist note

The Flemish animal painter David de Coninck was a pupil of Peeter Boel (1622-1674) in Antwerp. Both de Coninck and Boel worked in a manner closely related to latter's master, Joannes Fijt (1611-1661). Along with his hunting still lifes, it was such elegant park landscapes, often filled with exotic creatures, that formed the mainstay of de Coninck's production. Two similar versions by David de Coninck are known, among which a painting sold at Parke-Bernet, New York, 3 November 1967, lot 34, as Jan Fijt, together with a pendant of Game in an interior with a cat.
