Farmyard family
1911
Edgar Hunt brings the rustic charm of a 1911 English farmyard to life with this delightful realist scene. A proud, golden-feathered rooster stands guard in the foreground while a fluffy hen pecks at the straw-covered ground nearby, surrounded by a trio of curious little chicks. Above them, another hen has claimed a stone trough as her personal nesting box, looking down at the bustling family below. Hunt was famous for his incredibly detailed animal portraits, often capturing the distinct personalities of farm animals with a warmth that makes you feel like you're stepping right into the barn.
