Description
A young boy in dark clothing crouches beside a plump white chicken, both facing the camera with an air of serious contemplation in this vintage black and white photograph. The composition balances the child and bird as equal subjects against a mottled gray backdrop, their aligned postures creating an unexpectedly formal and humorous portrait. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
