About the piece
Abraham de Pape’s 1655 painting offers an intimate look into a 17th-century Dutch household. The scene centers on an elderly woman and a child engaged in the daily task of plucking a rooster, set against a richly textured interior featuring a prominent spiral staircase and warm, moody lighting characteristic of the Leiden School.
