# Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market, in Frans Snyders's contemporaries

Frans Snyders painted this in 1614, aged 35. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.

From the museum's label:

> This overflowing Flemish market stall is enlivened by dead animals splayed on the table, fighting roosters, and a pickpocket. An early example of Frans Snyders’s combination of ornamental still-life elements with secondary figures, this scene might have adorned the dining room of an aristocratic collector.
