At my Neighbour is a 1886 oil by Isidore Meyers, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows a man standing in front of a brick building with a red-tiled roof. He is wearing dark pants and a light-colored shirt, and he is holding a basket in his right hand. In front of the building, there are several chickens on the ground. The building has a large window on the front and a chimney on the roof. There is a small door on the right side of the building, and a barrel is sitting next to it. The sky above is light-colored, and there are some trees visible behind the building. The painting has a lot of texture and detail, with visible brushstrokes and a sense of depth. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. If you want to learn more about this style of painting, you could look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Isidore Meyers (1836–1916) was an artist, born in Antwerp.
