Plucking the Hen - A Glimpse into Domesticity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Plucking the Hen" offers a fascinating glimpse into domestic life during the early 20th century. Painted by Bernhard Dorotheus Folkestad, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 90x110 cm and is currently part of a private collection. The scene depicted in this artwork takes place inside a cozy kitchen, where a diligent housewife engages in food preparation. With her profile turned towards us, she delicately plucks feathers from a freshly slaughtered chicken. The air is filled with the aroma of lemons as they rest nearby, waiting to be used for culinary purposes. Amidst her laborious task, we notice that the woman enjoys an indulgent moment - she holds a cigarette between her fingers while smoke gracefully curls upwards. This subtle detail adds depth to her character and hints at the complexities of daily life during that era. Intriguingly, laundry hangs on a washing line in the background, suggesting that household chores are never-ending for this hardworking individual. The painting beautifully captures both the mundane yet essential aspects of domestic existence. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork through their expert photography skills. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment frozen forever within layers of paint and brushstrokes—a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical documentation.
