女孩在鄉村木屋門旁餵雞

ASewell oil painting depicting an outside scene of a weathered, brown wooden structure, a girl and a boy assist with chicken feeding while a red-blossomed flowerpot sits next to a window with white curtains in this portrait painting. The girl stands in front of a large wood door, wearing a white, collared peasant top under a khaki, sleeveless vest. On her lower half, the girl wears a plaid brown skirt and a blue cloth is tied to the front of her waist. She faces sideways with her head in profile towards the left with her right hand extended, palm up, as she scatters chicken feed onto the dirt. Her blonde hair is tied back in a low bun and her head is tipped downward as she focuses on feeding the birds. To the right of the girl, a small boy is resting on a small beige wood bench with his right arm extended, palm down, onto the seat as he bends his right knee up in front of him. His left foot hangs below the bench and his left hand is touching his right foot. The boy’s blonde hair is cut short and slightly shaggy. He wears a white collared shirt and rust colored unbuttoned vest with brown pants. The chickens occupy the central and bottom left of the portrait, their heads bent downward as they eat. They are a mix of yellow, white, black, and brown. Behind the girl, through the wooden walls, a small window sits which is adjacent to a flowerpot of green plants with red blossoms
