"La Basse-cour" (The Farmyard) is an oil painting by Belgian artist Henri Houben (1858–1931), known for his realistic depictions of rural life and landscapes. The painting is a fine example of Houben's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the pastoral scenes that were prevalent in his work. "La Basse-cour" portrays a vivid scene of farmyard life, likely set in the Belgian countryside, which was a common theme in Houben's oeuvre.

In the painting, Houben meticulously renders the textures and colors of the farm animals, the farm buildings, and the surrounding environment, showcasing his skill in naturalistic representation. The composition typically would feature a variety of domesticated animals, possibly including chickens, ducks, and geese, which were often subjects in such genre scenes. The work is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the everyday simplicity of rural existence.

Henri Houben studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and was influenced by the realist tradition. His works were exhibited in various salons and garnered recognition for their contribution to Belgian realism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "La Basse-cour" is representative of Houben's artistic legacy and provides insight into the rural genre that was an important aspect of Belgian art during this period.

The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the agrarian lifestyle of the time. It is a testament to Houben's dedication to capturing the beauty and authenticity of the Belgian countryside and its inhabitants. While the exact date of creation for "La Basse-cour" may not be well-documented, it remains an important work within Henri Houben's body of art and contributes to the understanding of the rural genre in Belgian painting history.
