Foul Bite is a 2004 by Joanna Braithwaite, depicting Chicken, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This image shows a print of a chicken with a long, thin object in its beak. The chicken is standing on the ground, facing to the right. It has a large body and a small head, with a long neck and legs. The object in its beak is thin and straight, and it appears to be made of a dark material. The print is done in a simple, monochromatic style, with no bright colors or bold lines. The background is a plain, light-colored surface that provides a subtle contrast to the dark lines of the chicken and the object. The overall effect is one of quiet simplicity, with the focus on the chicken and its unusual accessory.
