Hens, a Pigeon and a Rabbit is a 1719 oil by Giovanni Agostino Cassana, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of animals in a dimly lit space. There are three hens, a pigeon, and a rabbit. The hens are white and brown, while the pigeon is gray and white. The rabbit is brown and white. They all seem to be in a barn or a coop. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures and colors of the animals' feathers and fur. The background is dark, which helps to highlight the animals.
