Rooster | Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

There’s nothing subtle about a rooster — and Gene Irvin didn’t paint him that way. This 2004 watercolor and ink portrait captures the full swagger of the barnyard’s most theatrical bird: red comb and wattles, golden hackle feathers cascading down the neck, dark tail plumes arching behind, all rendered in loose expressive ink line work over blue-grey and orange watercolor washes.

Roosters have been kept by humans for thousands of years — for their crowing, their ornamental plumage, and their role as the original alarm clock. Particular breeds are prized for their spectacular feathering, and the rooster remains one of the most enduring symbols in folk art, farm decor, and kitchen design worldwide.

Available in:

• 8×10 Giclée print

Why collectors love it: The rooster is a perennial favorite for farmhouse kitchens, country homes, and anyone who appreciates bold, expressive wildlife art. Gene’s loose watercolor style gives this one real personality.
