About this work

This is a strange, colorful drawing of a rooster with wings. The rooster has a red face, black antlers, and bright feathers in green, purple, and yellow. Its wings are blue with sun-like faces painted on them, and its legs are striped in black, yellow, and orange. The artist signed it "Richard Lindner" in the corner—this isn’t a famous style but feels playful and a little surreal. The rooster’s mix of animal and human elements makes it stand out. Look up Richard Lindner to see more of his quirky, hybrid-style drawings.
