About this work

This painting features a lively scene of chickens, roosters, and chicks in a yard. A peacock perches on a wooden structure on the left, while another peacock and a few chickens are visible on the right. In the center, a rooster stands tall, surrounded by smaller birds. The background is dark, with a glimpse of a landscape featuring trees and a house on the right side. The painting showcases a variety of textures, from the smooth feathers of the peacocks to the rougher plumage of the chickens. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, with the peacocks' iridescent feathers catching the light. The painting is held at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
