A large and impressive naive mid 19th century oil painting of a cockfight being held in the open air.
Local worthies and workers mix together, all kneeling on the grass to watch the fight. An action packed event somehow rendered static in a truly naive
manner.
In a moulded maple veneer frame with gilt slip.
Lined.
