Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Bowes Museum owns a number of paintings by Couturier which are quite similar to this farmyard scene. These nineteenth-century representations of cockerels and hens appear to have been influenced by seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish depictions of the same subject, but are more lively and life-like. The artist is unfortunately unknown, but the similarities with Couturier are strong (even though the work is of a lesser quality), so he may well have seen the latter's work at the Salon. | Subjects: | animal (chickens) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: d`Haite (French artist, active 19th century) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8983... | Go to resource |
