Plucked Clean

Amerikanische Malerei 1878–1884, 1882

This painting shows a plucked chicken hanging upside down by one yellow leg from a piece of string. The chicken's bare skin is pale yellow with some areas of pale pink. Its tail and head are still intact, showing white plumage and a red crest. There are some small white feathers still connected to its skin, and a few scattered feathers float downward against the brown wooden panel background.
