About the piece
Painted in 1658, this dynamic work by Dutch master Melchior d’Hondecoeter captures the tension of a farmyard encounter. The artist's renowned skill in depicting plumage is on full display through the rich textures and bold highlights of the angered cock, while a cat’s watchful eyes in the background add a narrative layer to this classical composition.
