The rooster is shown in profile, painted in an expressive palette of muted blue, blue-green, ochre, cream, rust and vivid red.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe work has a distinctive naïve, almost folk-art quality, with loose, energetic brushwork combined with more detailed passages through the plumage. Raised paint and repeated feather-like strokes give the surface considerable texture, particularly across the breast and sweeping blue-grey tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"\"\u003ePainted on board, the composition is framed by a broad brown-painted margin around the edge of the support and presented in an age-worn moulded wooden frame.
