About the piece

Painted around 1850 by artist Jean Lulves, this oil study features a white and black speckled hen rendered with confident, painterly brushstrokes. The bird's dynamic posture is set against a deep, moody background, creating a sophisticated contrast that elevates the rustic subject matter to a gallery-worthy piece.
