Kuikens in een hok 1900 - 1930

"Kuikens in een hok" is a photograph by Dutch photographer Richard Tepe, depicting a group of chicks in a coop. The photograph, taken sometime between 1900 and 1930, captures the everyday life of a Dutch farm, showcasing the simple beauty of nature. The image is a prime example of Tepe's "direct photography" style, which focused on capturing subjects in their natural environment without elaborate staging. The stark contrast between the dark coop interior and the bright sunlight filtering through the window, along with the detailed depiction of the chicks, creates a poignant moment of rural life. This photograph, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a small but significant piece of Dutch photographic history.
