Three dead partridges lay on a table near to the edge of a table. The painting is notably cropped to focus on the birds.

I've gravitated to the nineteenth century galleries at the Art Institute of Chicago for as long as I can remember. At the top of the grand staircase there was Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street; Rainy Day (1877) — an unmistakable presence. Recently, the Woodson Art Museum was fortunate to acquire its own work by Caillebotte. Now, I'll be appreciating having another chance to visit regularly with the artist here in Wisconsin.
