About the painting
François Bocion (1828-1890) was born in Lausanne. He first trained with Christian Gottlieb Steinlen (1779-1847) in Vevey and subsequently with François Bonnet (1811-1894) in Lausanne. In Paris in 1845, Bocion entered the atelier of Louis-Aimé Grosclaude (1784-1869) and later that of Charles Gleyre (1806-1874) and befriended Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) and other important exponents of the Realist movement. Back in Lausanne in 1849 he became a teacher at the Ecole moyenne et industrielle of Lausanne, a position he held until his death. At the same time, he had an extensive output with several travels abroad. He exhibited in Paris, Vienna, Anvers, London and was a founder member of the Swiss society of watercolorists (1884).

This painting was executed by the artist shortly after his return in Lausanne from Paris. The rustic subject matter, poultry portrayed in a courtyard, is typical of the Naturalist approach which followed the emergence of the Realist movement in the 1840s in France. He did a few animal paintings although the recurrent thematic of his oeuvre is the depiction of scenes by the Lake Leman.
