"Dead Birds on a Ledge" is a 17th-century still life painting by Dutch artist Cornelis van Lelienbergh (1626–1676). Van Lelienbergh was known for his detailed and realistic still life works, often featuring dead game or birds, which was a popular genre in Dutch Golden Age painting. This particular painting exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering textures and capturing the morbid yet fascinating aspect of lifeless creatures, which was intended to remind viewers of the transience of life and the certainty of death.

The painting depicts an array of lifeless birds, carefully arranged on a stone ledge, showcasing van Lelienbergh's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to depict the varied textures of feathers and the subtle nuances of death. The composition is typically Baroque, with a dramatic contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the subjects. The choice of subject matter reflects the vanitas theme common in Dutch art of the period, symbolizing the fleeting nature of life and the futility of earthly pleasures.

"Dead Birds on a Ledge" is significant as an example of van Lelienbergh's contribution to the genre of still life, and it provides insight into the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is a testament to the era's fascination with naturalism, as well as the symbolic use of still life to convey moral messages. While the current location of the painting or its provenance may not be well-documented, the work remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Cornelis van Lelienbergh and the broader context of 17th-century Dutch painting.
