The print at a glance
A stylized dark blue hen stands centrally on the white fabric, facing left with detailed feather textures and a bright red comb. Surrounding the bird is a navy blue and white gingham border that frames the artwork like a traditional tea towel. Elegant cursive script appears above and below the illustration, displaying the French lines Une poule sur un mur and Picoti picota. This design belongs to the genre of French farmhouse decor and celebrates rural poultry imagery. The combination of the bold graphic bird and the flowing typography creates a charming, storybook aesthetic typical of classic European kitchen fabrics.
