"Kitchen Still Life with Fruit, Vegetables, and a Girl Holding a Chicken" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Kasper (or Gaspar) van den Hoecke. The artwork is a quintessential example of the still life genre that flourished during the Baroque period in Northern Europe, particularly in the Netherlands and Flanders. Van den Hoecke, who was active in Antwerp between 1600 and 1645, is known for his detailed and realistic depictions of everyday objects, which often contained moral or symbolic messages.

The painting presents a rich array of fruits, vegetables, and kitchenware arranged on a table, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with a high degree of verisimilitude. Dominating the composition is a young girl, who is depicted holding a chicken, adding a sense of life and narrative to the otherwise inanimate scene. The inclusion of a human figure in a still life was not uncommon and often served to provide a sense of scale, as well as to introduce allegorical or genre elements to the work.

"Kitchen Still Life with Fruit, Vegetables, and a Girl Holding a Chicken" is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the use of light to accentuate the form and texture of the depicted objects. The painting is a testament to the Northern European fascination with the natural world and the desire to capture its transient beauty. It also reflects the period's interest in the domestic sphere and the moralizing themes often associated with the consumption and preparation of food.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is unknown, it is generally attributed to the early to mid-17th century, a time when still life painting was reaching its zenith in the Low Countries. The work is considered an important contribution to the oeuvre of Kasper van den Hoecke and to the genre of still life painting as a whole. It remains a valuable piece for studying the cultural and artistic practices of the time, as well as for appreciating the technical prowess of the Old Masters.
