Wilhelm Schimmel's "Rooster" is a small, hand-carved and painted wooden sculpture, dating from between 1870 and 1890. The sculpture depicts a rooster standing on a small green base, with a bright red comb and wattles, a black and yellow spotted body, and a black and yellow striped tail. The work, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a charming example of folk art and offers a glimpse into the artistry of everyday objects in 19th century Germany.
