The painting shows a turkey and a rooster in a yard with chickens and a birdcage. The turkey is dark brown with a long tail, and the rooster is light brown with a red comb. They are standing in a grassy area with trees and a house in the background. The sky is blue with clouds. The turkey and rooster are the main focus of the painting, with the chickens and birdcage adding to the scene. The artist used oil paint to create the image, which is now held at the National Museum in Warsaw. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, look up Paul de Vos.
