Hunter pheasant

A young woman with powdered, rose-crowned hair stands wrapped in green foliage and pink roses layered over a scarlet gown, one hand on a leaf-covered fan, the other steadying a long antique flintlock rifle. A coiled hunting horn and powder flask rest at her feet on the red floor, while patterned wallpaper of leaves, red blossoms, and striped ribbon behind her frames several bright green-and-blue parrot-like birds; no pheasant appears.

Saturated reds and greens are built up in flat, tapestry-like patterning, while the face is modeled more naturalistically, setting portraiture against decorative flatness. Crisp outlines and dense repeating motifs give the scene a stylized, fable-like atmosphere rather than a hunting subject.
