Albert-Louis Dammouse’s *Ontwerp voor bord van het model ‘Square’ met een hen en drie kuikens* (c. 1875-1880) is a design for a plate. This pencil and watercolor drawing features a hen and three chicks in a farmyard setting with a house in the background. The drawing is framed with an elaborate design that resembles a plate rim. Dammouse, a Dutch artist known for his designs, utilizes a charming and naturalistic style in this artwork. The drawing's delicate details and gentle scene evoke a sense of warmth and domesticity. The design's simplicity and pleasing colors are reminiscent of Dutch Delftware pottery, making it a potentially useful and decorative piece for homes.
