In "The Sick Chicken," Homer captures the simplicity and innocence of childhood, as well as the universal experience of concern for a beloved animal. The subject matter reflects a departure from the grand historical and mythological themes that were prevalent in the art of the time, showcasing instead a slice of everyday life. The painting is executed with a soft, naturalistic style, emphasizing the tender emotions of the scene.

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is widely regarded as one of the foremost painters in American art history, known for his powerful depictions of nature and human life. His work spans a variety of subjects, including scenes of the sea, the wilderness, and post-Civil War American society. "The Sick Chicken" is an example of Homer's early work, where he began to explore the themes of childhood and pastoral life that would recur throughout his career.

The painting's composition, with its subdued color palette and careful attention to light and shadow, demonstrates Homer's skill in rendering both the physical and emotional atmosphere of the scene. "The Sick Chicken" has been appreciated for its quiet drama and the artist's empathetic portrayal of the young girl's concern for her pet, making it a significant work within Homer's oeuvre and an important piece in the narrative of American art.
