Museum Mondays

 

Photo of a trompe l'oeuil (fool the eye) painting, called "The Pate." The painting is done to look as if it's real object in a wall niche, including a pate encrusted in bread,  a dead rabbit and dead game fowl hanging down, a couple of bottles of wine, a couple of squash (I think), and another deal game fowl on the same surface as the wine and the paté.

Painting by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, 1743
