A Dead White Cock is a 1650 by Unknown, depicting Chicken, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting features a dead white chicken, its body hanging upside down from a hook. The chicken's wings are spread out, and its head is tilted back, revealing its beak. A small, round object is placed on a table or surface below the chicken, possibly a fruit or vegetable. The background of the painting is dark, with no other objects or details visible. The chicken appears to be the main subject of the painting, and its depiction is quite detailed. The artist has captured the texture of the chicken's feathers and the shape of its body. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The artist's use of chiaroscuro is reminiscent of the technique used by 1431_person.
