The Poultry Woman

Hendrik Meijer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Poultry Woman by Hendrik Meijer. Sepia-toned drawing of four people outside a brick building. A man on the left holds a dead chicken while a woman sits in the center, another woman stands on the right holding a pail. A young girl stands beside the seated woman. The background shows a roof and brick wall. The man wears loose, old-fashioned clothing and a hat, with one knee bent. The women wear long dresses and head coverings. A slaughtered chicken lies on the ground. A bowl sits by the man's foot. A jug sits on the ground beside the woman on the right. The drawing has a sepia tone and appears aged with darker spots.
