Chickens is a 1914 by William George Reindel, depicting Chicken, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows four plump white chickens standing on a patch of dirt with a wooden fence behind them. They look calm, like they’re used to being around people. William Reindel often painted farm scenes like this. Back then, many Americans lived in rural areas, so chickens were common. The artist used simple colors and clear shapes to show everyday life. Compare this to Winslow Homer’s work. He also painted simple farm scenes. The Cleveland Museum of Art has this painting in their collection.
William George Reindel (1871–1948) was an American artist.
