The painting depicts a rooster and two hens in a yard. The rooster stands prominently in the center, while the hens are positioned to its left and right. The background features a stone wall, trees, and a blue sky with clouds. The rooster's plumage is rendered in warm, earthy tones, while the hens are depicted in black and white. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and texture in the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of François Bocion, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of everyday life.
