"After the Hunt I" is a notable painting by the Irish-American artist William Michael Harnett, who is widely recognized for his trompe-l'œil still-life works that masterfully deceive the eye and celebrate the minutiae of everyday objects. Created in 1883, this painting is part of a series that exemplifies Harnett's fascination with the theme of the hunt—a subject that allowed him to showcase his skill in rendering textures and materials with astonishing realism.

The painting depicts a variety of hunting paraphernalia arranged against a wooden door. The composition typically includes items such as a shotgun, a powder horn, a game bag, and the spoils of the hunt, which are often represented by fowl or small game. Harnett's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the portrayal of the wood's grain, the metal's sheen, and the feathers' softness, all of which are rendered with such precision that they appear tangible.

"After the Hunt I" is celebrated for its rich symbolism and reflection of American culture during the late 19th century. The objects in the painting not only allude to the sport and leisure of hunting but also evoke themes of nostalgia and the passage of time. Harnett's work is often interpreted as a response to the rapidly changing world of industrialization, serving as a visual reminder of a simpler, bygone era.

This painting is part of a larger body of work that solidified Harnett's reputation as a master of the trompe-l'œil genre. His influence extended to other artists of the period, contributing to the popularity of still-life painting in America. "After the Hunt I" is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike and continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of 19th-century American life.
