About this work

A barnyard scene shows a large turkey, roosters, hens, and chicks gathered on packed earth beside a wooden fence and a tree. Pigeons perch on the fence at left, and a village of thatched cottages with a church spire stands under a cloudy sky in the background. Melchior d'Hondecoeter painted this Poultry Yard in 1668, now in the Detroit Institute of Arts.
