Description from the seller
Nelly Trumel
1938-2018
Hen with chicks
Oil on panel
Small format
Signed
Charming oil on panel in a small format by the painter Nelly Trumel (1938-2018), depicting an animal-care scene with a hen and several chicks in a coop setting. The work appears signed in the lower left corner.
The composition places the hen as the main figure, situated on the left, with its black-and-white plumage treated with loose, expressive brushwork. Around it are several chicks, some in the foreground and others near the coop entrance, creating a gentle, natural scene of great visual tenderness.
The painting sits within a tradition of animal and rural painting, focused on the representation of domestic birds and everyday farmyard scenes. The motif has an intimate and decorative character, evoking the simple life of the countryside and the maternal relationship between the hen and her offspring.
Stylistically, the piece is notable for its light, vibrant brushwork, especially in the treatment of the plumage, the chicks, and the coop floor. The artist uses a warm, natural palette, with whites, blacks, ochres, earth tones, greens, and soft yellows, achieving a balanced and luminous scene.
The work presents a simple yet highly effective composition. The hen, larger and more commanding, visually organizes the scene, while the small chicks add dynamism and charm. The architectural background, with a wall and a dark opening, places the scene in a domestic or rural setting, reinforcing its costumbrista character.
The result is a small-format decorative piece with a friendly reading and broad appeal, especially suitable for collectors of animal art, rural scenes, poultry subjects, and works with traditional sensibility.
The condition can be assessed in the photographs included in the description. Please examine the images carefully to evaluate the overall state of the painting and the frame.
Framed with an old-looking gold frame showing visible signs of use, wear, and minor flaws. The frame is sent as a gift along with the artwork.
A decorative piece of collectible interest, particularly appealing to lovers of animal painting, farmyard scenes, small formats, and the work of Nelly Trumel.
