A French framed and signed oil on canvas painting from the late 19th century, depicting chickens in a barnyard. Created in France during the last decade of the 19th century, this oil on canvas painting charms us with its humble depiction of a barnyard scene. A rooster, surrounded by hens, is keeping a protective eye on his domain. A staircase topped with an slatted awning creates a diagonal that leads our eye to the background, adorned with tall green-leafed trees. Boasting an earthy palette made of green, brown and beige tones, this painting, signed lower right, is set in a carved frame. Placed anywhere in a home, hung above a side table, commode or buffet, this French framed oil on canvas painting circa 1890 will complement any decor beautifully.
