Les vautours et les pigeons (Vultures and Pigeons)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, gepubliceerd 1756

The image shows birds in flight and on the ground. The scene includes trees, hills, an old building with a red-tiled roof, and greenery. The brushstrokes are detailed, emphasizing texture. The color palette is earthy with browns, greens, and blues. Closest to the viewer are an eagle and a downed pigeon, with more pigeons nearby. In the distance, more birds are in flight. The overall effect is one of tension and motion within a calm setting.
