“Country life” clearly illustrates the essential characteristics of the compositionally and technically perfect oeuvre of the animal painter.
Like a theater director, he involves the chickens and ducks in action and reaction and thus in actions that are often very close to human behavior. The keeping and plumage of the animals are studied down to the smallest detail, then transferred to the picture surface in miniature with the help of a magnifying glass.
