"Black Cock And Grey Hen" is a painting by Archibald Thorburn, a prominent Scottish artist known for his wildlife and naturalistic paintings, particularly of birds. Born on May 31, 1860, in Lasswade, Midlothian, Thorburn was a prolific painter whose works often featured the flora and fauna of the British countryside, with a particular focus on game birds and other wildlife in their natural habitats.

The painting "Black Cock And Grey Hen" depicts a male black grouse, known as a blackcock, and a female, referred to as a grey hen. The blackcock is characterized by its striking black plumage with distinctive red wattles above the eyes, while the grey hen is more subdued in color, with mottled brown and white feathers that provide camouflage in their moorland environment.

Thorburn's expertise in ornithology and his keen observation skills are evident in the detailed portrayal of the birds' plumage, posture, and behavior. The composition typically captures a moment in the life of these birds, set against a backdrop that reflects their natural habitat, which for black grouse includes the heather moorlands and forest edges of the United Kingdom and across parts of Eurasia.

"Black Cock And Grey Hen" is exemplary of Thorburn's artistic style, which combines precision and a deep appreciation for the subject matter with an almost poetic representation of the British countryside. His work not only appeals to art enthusiasts but also to naturalists and bird watchers, contributing to his reputation as one of the leading wildlife artists of his time.

Thorburn's paintings have been widely reproduced in various forms, including prints and illustrations for books, notably for Lord Lilford's "Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands" (1885-1897). "Black Cock And Grey Hen" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as a representation of Thorburn's contribution to the genre of wildlife art.
