Geflügelrupfende Frau (?) is a 1745 unspecified by Justus Juncker, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, peeling vegetables. She is dressed in a long, light-colored dress with a dark apron over it. The woman's hair is pulled back, and she is focused on her task. The room is dimly lit, with a table to her right holding a plate of food and a bucket on the floor nearby. Various kitchen utensils and items are scattered around the room. The woman's expression is calm and intent as she works. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet domesticity, with the woman engaged in a mundane but necessary task. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and her activity.
