Brendekilde — Farmyard with Hens and Apple Blossom (Art Postcard)

A flock of hens and a rooster crowd a dirt farmyard path in the foreground — buff, brown, black, white, eight or nine birds going about their morning. Whitewashed thatched farmhouses line the yard behind them, and two men work in the background: one on a ladder pruning an apple tree in full white blossom, the other gathering branches below. Signed lower left “H.A. Brendekilde.”

Enough going on in one yard — hens, ladder, blossom — to fill the back of the card without adding a word.
