A wild pigeon perches on a wooden yoke that leans against an overturned wicker basket, while a finch wings its way towards it.\n\nThe exotic chickens are probably Polish – in spite of their name, a breed first recorded in the Netherlands and established there by the seventeenth century. They were bred for their eggs but also for their colours and extravagant appearance. Such a picture would have been highly prized for its detailed representation of the fowl, and as an idealised view of life on a farm.\n\nAlthough d’Hondecoeter drew and sketched from life, he painted in the studio – common practice among seventeenth-century Dutch artists. He may have also worked from birds preserved by taxidermy, a means of preparing, stuffing and mounting the skins of animals with a lifelike effect.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/melchior-d-hondecoeter-a-cock-hens-and-chicks\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London -
