About the Item
Louise Lenka
German, early 20th century
Chicken and Chicks in a Barnyard Landscape
Circa 1910
Oil on panel
Signed lower right
In a gilt period frame
A finely painted early 20th-century German oil by Louise Lenka, depicting a tranquil barnyard scene with a white hen sheltering her chicks upon a rustic nest, set within a softly observed rural setting. The composition is intimate and carefully balanced, with the clustered chicks providing a gentle rhythm around the central figure of the hen.
Lenka displays a sensitive and accomplished handling of paint, particularly evident in the nuanced textures of plumage, earth, and weathered timber. The palette is restrained and harmonious, favouring muted browns, warm creams, and soft greys, enlivened by subtle highlights that lend the scene warmth and quiet animation. Small details—such as the scattered straw, the feeding dish, and the leaning ladder—add narrative interest without disturbing the calm, domestic mood.
Works of this nature reflect the enduring tradition of German genre and animal painting in the early 20th century, celebrating rural life through careful observation and technical refinement. The panel remains in good condition and is presented in an attractive gilt frame that complements the painting’s character and period.
A charming and highly decorative example of early 20th-century German barnyard painting, rich in detail and timeless in appeal.
Framed in a new hand made English frame.
