This still-life includes gamebirds, a stag, hunting paraphernalia and flowers, with a white cockatoo, in a landscape setting.
Weenix liked to include a strong element of white in his pictures, in the present case the cockatoo, in other works often a swan, a goose, the white fur of the belly of a hare, or in one case a dead snowy owl. White Cockatoo (Cacatua Alba) is a native of Indonesia, it occurs occasionally in European art in the 17th century.
