Brief Description
A black chicken with a red wattle and yellow legs, head lowered towards a light background
Detailed Description
The image depicts a single, dark-colored chicken positioned centrally on a light background. The chicken's body is rendered with broad, textured brushstrokes that create the appearance of feathers. Its head is turned to the left, with its beak pointing downwards. A small, reddish wattle or comb is visible beneath its eye, which is depicted as a small, round white area with a dark pupil. The chicken's two legs extend downwards from its body. They are a lighter, yellowish-brown color with distinct, dark scale-like markings. Each foot has three prominent forward-facing claws and one backward-facing claw, all depicted with sharp, dark tips. The dark areas of the image have visible texture, and the background is a slightly mottled, light brown. In the lower right corner, there is vertical text in black ink, followed by a red rectangular seal.
