About the Item
"Farmyard Morning": Large Antique Oil on Canvas Painting of Chickens by Louis J. Cruise,
Dated 1911
A substantial and atmospheric early 20th-century oil on canvas painting, signed and dated by the noted Pennsylvania artist Louis J. Cruise (1861–1945) in 1911. This delightful genre scene captures the quiet activity of a traditional American farmyard, characterized by the artist's signature realistic style and serene composition.
The scene depicts a flock of chickens foraging in golden straw outside a rustic stone and timber barn. A magnificent rooster stands alert on a hay mound, watching over hens of various breeds—white, speckled, and brown—while one chicken emerges from the dark interior of the farm building. In the background, a wooden rail fence separates the yard from a lush green pasture and distant woods, with small birds perching casually on the rails and pecking at the straw. The work is housed in a wide, impressive gilt frame.
Markings: Signature: Signed and dated in the lower left corner: "L.J. Cruise / 1911".
Condition: Good antique condition. The canvas is well-composed and executed, capturing the play of light on the landscape.

Historical Context:
Louis J. Cruise (1861–1945) was a prolific American artist born in Bally, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He studied at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Art Students League of New York. A member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and the Bucks County Academy of Fine Arts, Cruise was known for his calm, realistic depictions of rural life, including landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. His work was exhibited at major venues such as the National Academy of Design and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and is represented in collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Allentown Art Museum. This painting is a fine example of his ability to capture the idyllic beauty of the American past.
