Description: | This group of hens with their chicks has been very carefully painted to capture every detail. Each bird is recognisable as an individual. Details such as the wisps of straw and the fraying wicker basket add to the painting's realism. Edgar Hunt was a popular painter of scenes of farm animals, often featuring baby creatures. He was one of many Victorian artists who specialised in a small area of subject matter. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists oil paintings animals art natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
