Feeding the Hens,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Angusine Jeanne Macgregor (circa 1920) This charming print captures the innocence and simplicity of rural life in the early 20th century. In the image, a young girl in a white dress and red apron stands in a sunlit barnyard, surrounded by a flock of hens. With a gentle expression on her face, she reaches out to offer a handful of grain to the birds, who eagerly peck at the seeds in her hand. The girl's connection with the hens is one of tenderness and companionship, as she takes care of her feathered friends with love and affection. Angusine Jeanne Macgregor's painting skillfully captures the warmth and light of the scene, with the golden sunlight filtering through the barn doors and casting a soft glow over the girl and the hens. The artist's use of muted colors and delicate brushstrokes adds to the sense of tranquility and serenity, transporting the viewer to a simpler time and place. The image of a young girl feeding the hens is a common motif in art and literature, representing the bond between humans and animals, and the joy and responsibility of caring for them. This print is a beautiful reminder of the pleasures of rural life and the simple pleasures of connecting with nature and the creatures that inhabit it.
