A Dutch Oil on Board of a Farmyard Scene with Chickens and Ducks, Early–Mid 20th Century.
An early to mid-20th century Dutch oil on board depicting a tranquil farmyard scene. The composition centres on a group of chickens and ducks gathered before a rustic wooden coop with a thatched roof, set within an open rural landscape. A vibrant cockerel with richly coloured plumage stands prominently beside a feeding trough, accompanied by hens and two mallard ducks, while small chicks animate the foreground.
The background opens onto soft rolling fields and sparse trees beneath a muted sky, rendered in gentle, naturalistic tones characteristic of Dutch pastoral painting of the period. The brushwork is delicate and detailed, particularly in the treatment of feathers and the earthy textures of the yard.
Approximately 77 x 67.5cm (incl. frame)
