Reception

Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker wrote about the characters in the painting: "Their poses have the charged solemnity of Balthus, without the erotic crackle. Nothing seems to be at issue for them. (The bird is beyond caring.) But masterly areas of the painting, astonishingly varied in style, captivate."[3]

Legacy

Marian Brown St. Onge wrote a poem called "In This Hunter's Room" based on this painting. It was written for a 2009 anthology of poems inspired by paintings by Rauch.[4]
