Description
Painted in oils on canvas, depicting a still life of dead game in the form of a wood pigeon hanging upside down hung from a nail and bound by its feet atop a ledge, against a sandy brown ground with a hunting satchel and flask amidst, the whole studiously depicted by Swedish painter Theodor Henrik Lundh (1812-1896) in the year of 1880 and presented in the original gilded plaster frame.
The painting only suffers from a tiny amount of damage, with a 1.5 mm pin hole to the upper right hand corner as photographed and otherwise remains in excellent condition. The signature is only visible by the aid of very strong light since it is as almost as dark as the background itself. There is a label verso for Jon Gustafsson Stockholm 36 Hamngatan which is reassuring.
This painting has been in the same family as long as the vendor can remember. It was originally owned by his grandmother (1886–1965), who lived in Stockholm and was a keen amateur painter. The current vendor inherited the painting when she passed away.
Born in Stockholm in 1812, Henrik Theodor Lundh was a Swedish painter, photographer, restaurateur and conductor at the Royal Museum. He was the son of the brewer and cornet Adolph Fredric Lundh and Elisabeth Westin and from 1856 married Anna Sophia Charlotta Ekman. Lundh started studying painting with his uncle Fredric Westin at the age of 14 . He was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in 1829 but he continued his private tuition with his uncle who encouraged him to carry out history paintings.
During his studies, he was awarded a number of awards, including the Ticino Medal, the Chancellor's Medal and the Royal Medal. He travelled to Paris in 1843 to further his education and under the influence of French art he abandoned history painting to paint still lifes and genre paintings instead.
He studied with his uncle, born Westin, then at the Art Academy and in Paris. He has painted children's portraits, biblical and historical motifs, animals and flowers, as well as still lifes, usually with dead birds as we see here. He participated in the Academy of Fine Arts' exhibitions. As a lithographer, he made a portrait of Karl XIV Johan and he made some miniature portraits of Axel Oxenstierna and Gustav II Adolf and is represented at the National Museum in Stockholm with Cuddle Birds, as well as in Gothenburg's Art Museum with Fruit Still Life.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
