The Farm-yard with the Cock

About this work

This print shows a busy farm scene with a wooden cart loaded with hay. A rooster stands proudly beside it, while chickens scatter nearby. In the foreground, a group of pigs wallow in mud, and a dog lies resting. Two men stand by a fence, talking or working, and a horse-drawn cart waits in the background. The artist used shading to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. This print was made using a technique that lets artists add fine details and textures.
