"De Haan" (The Rooster) is a lithograph by Gordinne dating from 1894-1959, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The detailed print depicts a proud rooster standing in a farmyard setting, surrounded by hens and chicks. The artist captures the animal's plumage with meticulous detail and uses warm browns and yellows to create a sense of rustic charm. This classic depiction of barnyard life provides a glimpse into the everyday life of the Dutch countryside.
