From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Two Dead Chickens is a 1701 ink by British 18th Century, a Baroque work, depicting Chicken, held at National Gallery of Art.
This small drawing shows two dead chickens lying on their backs. Their limp feet point up. A few loose feathers scatter around them. The artist used just pen and brown ink over graphite. No color. No background. Just the birds and careful lines. The lines are thin but clear. You can see this work in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This artist left small, precise pictures from 18th-century Britain—buildings, faces, and landscapes etched or drawn in ink and chalk.
