About the piece

Created around 1710 by the renowned still-life and bird specialist Jakob Bogdani, this oil painting captures a dramatic moment in a farmyard setting. The artist’s characteristic attention to detail is evident in the luminous, iridescent plumage of the roosters and the bristling fur of the cat. The composition is rounded out by the presence of smaller chicks and guinea pigs, all set against an atmospheric sky that adds a sense of depth and classical elegance to the scene.
