Gottfried Mind, a Swiss artist often nicknamed the 'Raphael of Cats' for his animal sketches, turns his attention to the barnyard in this charming watercolor study titled 'Hühnerfütterung' (Chicken Feeding). On the left, a young maid leans from a rustic window to feed a hen and a proud rooster perched right on the sill, with a bundle of laundry resting nearby. To the right, a stouter woman leans out of a separate window, gazing downward with an expression that feels almost bored, creating a delightful contrast between busy rural chores and quiet observation. The loose lines and soft washes capture a fleeting, everyday moment typical of the Romantic era's fascination with simple, pastoral life.
