Studieblad met vier kippen 1720 - 1792

"Studie blad met vier kippen" (Study sheet with four chickens) is a study by Dutch painter Aert Schouman from the 18th century. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts four chickens in a simple, loose style characteristic of Schouman's work. The chickens are depicted in various poses, showcasing the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy. These studies likely served as preparatory sketches for larger paintings. This work is a valuable insight into Schouman's process and demonstrates his talent for capturing the natural world with simplicity and accuracy.
