Chickens and cockerel in a barn
Edgar Hunt's charming 1897 scene captures a bustling barnyard drama where a proud white rooster struts front and center, completely ignoring the brown hen perched regally atop a wicker basket. While another hen pecks curiously at a pile of fresh cabbages and turnips, a black hen lurks in the shadows and a curious onlooker peeks through the open doorway. Painted in a highly realistic style, Hunt brings these feathered characters to life with incredible detail, making you almost hear their clucking and scratching against the rustic backdrop of brooms and watering cans.
