About this work

This painting shows a single rooster standing sideways. Its feathers are mostly brown and black, with a bright red comb on its head and yellow legs. The background is a plain, dark brown color, making the bird stand out. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the rooster a lively feel. The artist focused on the bird’s shape and color rather than tiny details. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
