Jutz Carl An Extensive Field With Game Birds And Rabbits Carl Jutz

The composition presents a sweeping vista of cultivated land transitioning into a distant, undulating landscape. The foreground is dominated by a field teeming with wildlife – pheasants and rabbits are scattered across the terrain, nestled amongst tall grasses and low-lying vegetation. A dense thicket of corn stalks occupies the left side of the scene, providing both visual texture and a sense of enclosure within the broader expanse.
The artist has employed a distinct atmospheric perspective; the distant hills appear softened and muted in tone, creating an illusion of depth and vastness. The color palette is predominantly earthy – browns, greens, and yellows – which reinforces the naturalistic depiction of the scene. Light appears to emanate from behind the viewer, casting long shadows and highlighting certain areas of the field, particularly around the corn stalks.
The presence of game birds and rabbits suggests a controlled environment, likely a hunting preserve or managed farmland. The abundance of wildlife implies prosperity and an effective stewardship of the land. A small stone marker is visible near the foreground vegetation, hinting at property boundaries or perhaps serving as a subtle memorial.
Beyond the immediate field, the landscape unfolds into a series of hills, densely wooded in places, culminating in more distant peaks that fade into the hazy horizon. The arrangement suggests an ordered and cultivated relationship between humanity and nature; it is not a wilderness but a carefully managed domain. The overall impression conveyed is one of abundance, tranquility, and a harmonious coexistence between human activity and the natural world.
