Stilleven met pauwen (easel painting (painting by form); Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Leiden 1606-07-15 - Amsterdam ...; 1638/1640; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-A-3981; RM001.collect.5220)

Note: A girl is looking through the window at two dead peacocks. A pool of blood reveals that they have only just been shot and the meat has yet to be mortified. The area appears to be a sort of pantry, since other food is also kept here. A beam of light passes the birds and focuses attention on their splendid plumage. The head of the horizontal peacock has been skillfully painted, as if it were protruding from the canvas. The painting is by Rembrandt van Rijn. The light, the impasto manner of painting and the colors are typical of his style. Yet the signature on the painting is not original. It was painted on later to add credence to the claim of authenticity.
