About the piece
Painted by Abraham Mignon in the 1660s, this still life is a tour de force of texture and detail. The composition centers on a rooster and hen, their feathers rendered with luminous precision against a deep, atmospheric background. Characteristic of the Golden Age, the work includes subtle naturalistic details like snails, spiders, and butterflies, inviting close inspection in a traditional or academic setting.
