A hen, rooster, and five chicks forage among sparse plants on a brown ground
Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts chickens and chicks in a sparse landscape against a warm brown background. On the left, a white hen with light gray wing details is shown with her head lowered, appearing to peck at the ground. Three small, light yellow chicks are clustered near her, also looking downwards. To the left of the hen, a few dark green plants with small purple flowers are visible, along with some dry, twig-like vegetation. In the center-right, a reddish-brown rooster stands tall, facing right with its head tilted upwards and beak open, as if crowing. Its comb and wattles are a lighter red, and its long, dark tail feathers curve upwards and to the left. Various dark green and brown plants, including some tall grasses, are scattered around the rooster and behind the chicks. Further to the right, two more light yellow chicks stand upright, facing left. The ground is a uniform light brown, with subtle variations in tone.
