About this work

A white hen with a red comb steps through a broken slat in an old wooden fence, its body cropped by the foreground boards. Behind it rises a leaning log house with a corrugated tin roof, a turquoise-painted window shutter left ajar, and tall grass growing along the base of the weathered walls.

Meticulous, fine brushwork renders every crack, knot, and rust stain in the wood and metal with near-photographic precision, set against cool greys and warm ochre-brown tones. The low, even light and detailed textures give the abandoned rural structure a quiet, slightly melancholic stillness broken only by the hen's presence.
