Haan met kuikens 1680 - 1723

"Haan met kuikens" (Rooster with chicks) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jacob Gole. This small, detailed work depicts a majestic rooster standing proudly with his tail feathers fanned out, surrounded by three chicks foraging on the ground. The scene is set in a rustic landscape, with a glimpse of a farmhouse and trees in the background. Gole's meticulous depiction of the animals' feathers and the subtle textures of the natural world highlights his skill as an artist. This piece is a fine example of Dutch animal art, capturing the beauty and detail of everyday life.
