Description: | Signed: yes Description: The subject recalls works by Melchior de Hondecoeter. Pairs of poultry are in profile: two pigeons (left) and a pair of ducks (right) frame the composition. In the central middle ground is a white hen with five chicks, one standing on a plate, one under her wing. A cockerel stands behind. To the right is a black hen pecking seed and a large colourful cockerel. The birds are painted with a high degree of finish against a more imprecise background, with a beach, two houses and trees under an expansive sky and against a thin strip of sea. | Subjects: | animal (poultry) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Windt, Philip (Dutch painter, 1847-1921) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8738... | Go to resource |
