His Favourite Pet, 1883
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Frederick Rondel that depicts an intriguing scene from the late nineteenth century. The artwork measures 50.8x61 cm and is part of a private collection. In this composition, Rondel skillfully captures the complexities of domestic life during this era. A man is depicted seated in a chair, his arm resting on the table as he leans on his elbow. His gaze is fixed upon his favorite pet, a beautiful pheasant that sits in a cage nearby. The man's fascination with the bird contrasts sharply with the dead animal carcass displayed on the table before him. The artist also includes other elements that add depth to the narrative. A serving maid stands near the entrance, armed with a rifle, while another woman can be seen attending to her duties in the background. The room itself is adorned with nineteenth-century furniture and kitchenware. Rondel's painting raises questions about hypocrisy and societal norms of that time period. It explores themes of power dynamics and our complex relationship with animals as both companions and sources of sustenance. Through its meticulous details and masterful technique, "His Favourite Pet" invites viewers to reflect upon their own attitudes towards animals and challenges them to consider how these relationships have evolved over time.
