The picture depicts the usual scene of feeding chickens, but the author has put into the composition several elements that give it a certain geometrical effect. Capacity with grains has a clear form and is located in the center, it immediately draws all the attention to itself and sets the scheme of the composition. It creates a feeling, that the girl only maintains this capacity, and it pours the grain and decides how to move itself. Above it in the center of the canvas is one of the vertical beams [Expand]
that support the roof above the stairs. And the slope of the roof follows the slope of the basket with grain. To the right and left of the basket are parts of the white wall of the building, and below is another separate area. The canvas is schematic with almost mathematical precision, and it seems that it's captured one moment when such geometry is lined up, but after a moment the basket will change its position and the entire composition.
