Description

An original hand-signed chalk drawing by the internationally acclaimed Dutch artist Anton Heyboer. Depicting a colorful chicken rendered in Heyboer’s unmistakable visual language, this work combines spontaneity, humor, and expressive freedom in a composition that immediately captures the eye.

Executed with vibrant chalk pigments in yellow, red, blue, and black, the drawing demonstrates the artist’s characteristic raw energy and directness. The textured application of the chalk creates a lively surface rich in movement and personality. The playful subject matter perfectly reflects Heyboer’s fascination with everyday life, animals, symbolism, and intuitive creation.

The work remains highly decorative while retaining strong collector appeal thanks to its authentic signature, recognizable style, and charming subject.
