About this work

This painting shows a single black chicken with a bright red comb and wattles. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the bird’s feathers and the background. The colors are mostly dark and earthy, with a few patches of yellow and green near the bottom. The artist used short, choppy strokes to create texture, making the chicken look almost three-dimensional. The background is blurred, so the bird stands out clearly. If you like this style, look up impasto.
