About the piece
Created in 1829 by the celebrated British animal painter John Frederick Herring, Sr., this oil study depicts a pale-breasted fighting cock with meticulous anatomical detail. The work exemplifies the 19th-century naturalist tradition, placing the bird in a dignified profile against a muted, earthy palette that emphasizes its form and color.
