from Rilksmuseum site:
Jean Baptist Weenix, A Dog and a Cat Near a Partially Disembowelled Deer. 1647-60, 180 x 162 cm, oil on canvas. A deer is hung by one leg. The belly has been slit open and the entrails lie on the stone worktop. From the trickle of blood on the table the carcass appears to have been left to mortify. At either side a cat and a dog hiss and bark, hoping for a titbit. Weenix painted this large still life, signed below left, with self-assurance. He started by defining the forms with a drawing, after which he added dead colour. This is visible in the architecture, right. Then he began painting, sometimes using thick impasto paint. He finished the velvet curtain with a layer of green glaze. While painting he moved this curtain to the right to disguise an inconvenient join in the canvas.

7585-98; 7709-27 The German painter Scholderer, in an enthusiastic letter about Courbet written to Fantin-Latour, described this picture and compared it with the painting called The Quarry (Boston Museum of Fine Arts) which Courbet showed in the exhibition of 1857. According to Scholderer, the dogs were taken directly from The Quarry; the landscape is different and was painted from memory, but the realistic hare was done from nature after one that Courbet had bought expressly to use as a model.
