Găinile is a 1850 by Ion Andreescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two chickens sitting on the ground. One is mostly white with red spots on its face and comb, while the other is brown and white. Both look a little messy, with feathers sticking out. The background is dark and blurry, making the chickens stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the chickens a textured look. The artist didn’t focus on making everything look perfect—the chickens feel real and a bit lived-in. Check out the impasto technique for more on how thick paint creates texture like this.
