Wonderful example of Carl Whitfield's work.
This original oil painting by Carl Whitfield is a superb example of his renowned hyperrealist style, capturing the charm and bustle of a traditional farmyard.
The composition is dominated by a gentle donkey at the centre, while the foreground is a flurry of activity with chickens, ducks, and a rooster meticulously rendered with Whitfield's signature fine detail and vibrant tones.
The scene is set against a rustic barn, whose weathered wood and shadows provide a rich, earthy backdrop that brings the animals into sharp relief.
Strongly influenced by the 19th-century painter Edgar Hunt, this work successfully merges high technical skill with a warm, nostalgic subject, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of British wildlife and rural genre art.
