Richard La Barre Goodwin was a successful American artist who specialized in meticulously detailed still life paintings, particularly those featuring hunting subjects (known as Game Piece still lifes). He was a master of Trompe-l'œil (French for "deceive the eye"), creating the convincing illusion that the subject—in this case, often a deer or elk head, hunting rifle, and a hunting bag—is actually hanging on a wooden door or wall.

• Victorian Sentiment: These paintings were highly popular among the Gilded Age elite, as they symbolized a connection to the wilderness, skill in hunting, and domestic masculine achievement. The realism evoked a sense of comfort and nostalgia for a simpler, rugged past.

• Technical Mastery: Goodwin’s meticulous attention to texture—the smooth wood grain, the soft fur, the dull sheen of the leather—is a hallmark of his technical brilliance, making the viewer question the reality of the two-dimensional surface.

This print is an essential piece of vintage Americana, perfect for collectors of sporting art, realism, and evocative early 20th-century genre art.
