Chicken Vendors [recto]

About this work

This sketch shows a group of people carrying large baskets on their heads. The figures are drawn quickly, with loose lines and smudged colors. Some wear hats, and one person holds a chicken—its feathers are bright red and white. The artist used a mix of ink, watercolor, and charcoal to create a rough, busy scene. The colors are mostly muted, but the chicken’s feathers stand out. Next, check out Hart, George Overbury (Pop) to see more of his work.
