Early 20th Century Italian Duck and Shotgun Still Life Painting

About the Item

This early 20th-century Italian oil painting on board is a striking still life, capturing the quiet aftermath of the hunt. A well-worn shotgun rests atop a blue fabric-draped platform, its presence complemented by a leather ammo belt lined with gleaming brass shells. Draped over the composition is a lifeless female mallard, her delicate plumage rendered with remarkable detail. The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow lends the scene a dramatic, almost cinematic quality. Framed in its original gilt and painted frame, the painting exudes history and craftsmanship. Adding to its intrigue, the reverse side of the board reveals an unfinished painting of two figures in a dining room, offering a rare glimpse into the artist’s process. Signed illegibly in the lower right corner, this piece is both a brooding homage to traditional hunting still lifes and a fascinating artifact of an artist’s evolving vision. A remarkable find for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
