About the piece
Attributed to an anonymous Neapolitan painter of the 17th century, this evocative oil on canvas depicts a young boy handling poultry with focused attention. The work is a fine example of Baroque genre painting, utilizing deep shadows and focused light to emphasize the plumage of the rooster and the rustic character of the scene.
