The composition of this hunting still life seems to be modeled after Oudry's Allegory of Water, which, along with allegories of the other three elements, was painted by Oudry as an overdoor piece in 1719 and remained in his collection until 1740, when the set was acquired for the Royal Palace, Stockholm (inv. NM 868).1
