European school (XIX) - Interior de gallinero

Charming costumbrista scene of a European school in the 19th century, executed in oil on panel. The composition depicts an interior of a henhouse with a rooster and several hens, resolved with a warm atmosphere and a delicate handling of light that penetrates through the door. The work stands out for its careful execution and its decorative character, being a magnificent example of 19th-century animal and rural painting. It is presented in a gilded wooden frame in keeping with the period.
