1823
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Liber Studiorum: The Farmyard with the Cock is a 1823 by Joseph Mallord William Turner, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a farmyard scene with a wooden wagon, a rooster, and a few chickens pecking around. Two pigs lie in the mud near a small stream, while a dog stands nearby. In the background, a fence and trees line the road, and two people are walking along the path. The artist focused on everyday rural life, using simple lines to show the animals and landscape. The print looks like it was made from a drawing, with careful shading to add depth. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
