Charles Émile Jacque (1813–1894) was a prominent French painter and engraver, renowned for his contributions to the Barbizon School, a movement that emphasized realism and the depiction of rural life. Among his extensive body of work, "Poules" stands out as a notable example of his dedication to capturing the essence of pastoral scenes and animal subjects. The title "Poules," which translates to "Hens" in English, reflects Jacque's focus on farmyard animals, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.

Jacque's artistic journey began with an apprenticeship in engraving, which honed his skills in detailed and precise line work. This background in engraving is evident in his paintings, where meticulous attention to detail and texture is a hallmark. "Poules" exemplifies this approach, showcasing his ability to render the feathers, postures, and natural environment of hens with remarkable fidelity.

The Barbizon School, with which Jacque is closely associated, emerged in the mid-19th century as artists sought to break away from the formalism of academic art. Instead, they turned their attention to the natural world, often painting en plein air (outdoors) to capture the changing light and atmosphere. Jacque, along with contemporaries such as Jean-François Millet and Théodore Rousseau, played a crucial role in this movement. His works, including "Poules," are celebrated for their authenticity and the intimate portrayal of rural life.

In "Poules," Jacque's composition typically features a group of hens in a rustic setting, perhaps a barnyard or a field. The painting not only highlights the physical characteristics of the birds but also conveys a sense of their daily activities and interactions. This focus on the mundane yet charming aspects of rural existence is a testament to Jacque's ability to find beauty in simplicity.

Jacque's work, including "Poules," has been exhibited in various prestigious venues and continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the genre of animal painting. His legacy endures through his detailed and affectionate portrayals of rural life, which offer a window into the 19th-century French countryside.
