Zevental kippen before 1899

"Zevental kippen" (Seven Chickens) is a small-scale photograph by Hildegard Lehnert, a German photographer who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, likely taken before 1899, captures a group of chickens in a natural setting, highlighting Lehnert's keen eye for detail and her interest in the everyday lives of animals. The small size of the photograph, 49 mm by 30 mm, suggests it may have been part of a larger album or collection. This intimate portrait of chickens offers a glimpse into Lehnert's artistic approach, which valued simplicity and observation.
