From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Two chickens is a 1917 watercolor by Edmund Dulac, a Art Nouveau work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two chickens facing each other. The rooster stands tall with bright yellow feathers and a red comb, while the hen below has speckled brown and white feathers. Both have detailed markings and soft shading. The artist used gentle watercolor washes to show texture in the feathers. Notice how the rooster’s tail fans out behind him, while the hen’s feathers look fluffier. Next, look up Dulac, Edmund to see how he painted other animals.
