Artist: Unknown (Continental School, 19th–20th Century)
Title: Feeding the Chickens
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Framing: Ornate Rococo Revival Frame with Copper-Gilt Finish
Dimensions (Framed): Approx. 30" x 34"
Date: Likely early to mid-20th Century (in the style of 19th-century genre painting)
This heartwarming pastoral oil painting depicts a classic European farmyard scene with a mother and child tending to their chickens. The figures, dressed in rustic 18th- or 19th-century attire, are surrounded by lively hens and roosters scratching through straw in the foreground. A modest cottage, wooden stable, and climbing foliage create a rich, storytelling backdrop.
Executed in the style of 19th-century Dutch or French genre painting, the piece balances realism with narrative charm. The warm earthy tones and tender expressions reflect a nostalgic reverence for country life, family, and domestic simplicity.
The canvas is beautifully presented in a high-relief carved frame with shell and scrollwork, finished in a red-copper metallic patina that accentuates the painting’s warm palette.
Attribution Note: While unsigned, this piece reflects the traditional themes and techniques of the Continental School, echoing the sentimental realism seen in works by artists such as Léon Augustin Lhermitte or Myles Birket Foster.
