"A Cat Attacking Dead Game" is a notable painting by the French artist Alexandre-François Desportes (1661–1743), who is recognized for his contributions to still life and animal painting in the Baroque period. This work exemplifies Desportes' skill in capturing the vitality of his subjects and his ability to render textures and details with precision. The painting depicts a domestic cat in the midst of a predatory moment, having caught or discovered dead game, likely intended for a meal. The artwork reflects the naturalistic tendencies of the time, showcasing Desportes' keen observation of animal behavior and his talent for imbuing his subjects with a sense of life and immediacy.

The composition of "A Cat Attacking Dead Game" is carefully constructed to highlight the contrast between the animate feline and the inanimate birds, creating a dynamic interplay that engages the viewer. Desportes' use of lighting and shadow enhances the drama of the scene, while his meticulous brushwork emphasizes the various textures, from the softness of the cat's fur to the feathers of the birds. This painting not only serves as a testament to Desportes' artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the period in which it was created.

As a prominent court painter to Louis XIV, Desportes was renowned for his hunting scenes, portraits of animals, and still lifes that often included game. "A Cat Attacking Dead Game" is representative of the themes that pervade his oeuvre, reflecting both his personal passion for hunting and the broader aristocratic fascination with the natural world and its depiction in art. The painting is an important piece within Desportes' body of work and contributes to our understanding of the development of animal painting in European art history.
