About the piece
Painted in 1658 by Willem van Aelst, this Dutch Golden Age still life is a masterclass in chiaroscuro. The work captures a white hen and a dark-plumed rooster resting on a stone plinth, their delicate feathers rendered with remarkable precision against a deep, shadowy backdrop that creates a sense of elegant drama.
