"A Cockerel and a Hen" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Abraham van Calraet (1642–1722), known for his skillful depiction of animals, still lifes, and landscapes. While Calraet's work was often confused with that of the more famous Abraham van Cuyp due to the similarity in their monogram signatures, his unique style and contributions to Dutch art have been increasingly recognized.

The painting "A Cockerel and a Hen" exemplifies Calraet's attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures and colors of the animals' plumage. The artwork typically features a domestic scene with the two birds, showcasing the artist's interest in the natural world and his proficiency in rendering its beauty. The cockerel, often depicted in a striking pose, symbolizes vigilance and fertility, while the hen complements this with a more subdued presence, reflecting the domestic and nurturing aspects of life.

This piece is characteristic of the genre paintings of the time, where artists would often portray scenes from everyday life, including animals, with a high degree of realism. Calraet's work is noted for its warm color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which adds depth and vitality to the scene.

The exact date of "A Cockerel and a Hen" is not well-documented, which is common for many works of the period.
