Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The print titled "FEEDING THE CHICKENS" is a steel engraving created in 1879, based on an original work by the artist J.L. HAMON and skillfully engraved by LEVASSEUR. The image depicts a serene domestic scene where a young woman, dressed in a flowing, classical-style garment, is engaged in the simple yet nurturing act of feeding chickens. She stands on a ledge, leaning forward to scatter feed for the birds gathered below her. The setting appears to be a rustic, possibly rural environment, with potted plants and additional chickens perched nearby, adding to the pastoral charm. The engraving captures the delicate details of the woman's attire, the texture of the chickens' feathers, and the natural surroundings, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship typical of steel engravings from the late 19th century. J.L. HAMON, though not extensively documented, is recognized for his contributions to genre scenes, while LEVASSEUR was known for his meticulous engraving techniques, bringing depth and realism to such prints.
