Parabola cocoșului is a 1650 unspecified by Melchior d' Hondecoeter, depicting rooster, held at Romanian Academy in Bucharest.
This painting shows a single rooster up close. Its feathers are bright red and black, with a shiny, metallic sheen on its neck. The background is dark and blurry, making the bird stand out sharply. The rooster’s comb is a deep red, and its wattles are almost purple. Its eyes look alert, and the feathers on its chest fan out like a display. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
