Antique Oil Painting, “An Unwelcome Visitor” American School, Late 19th Century

Thomas Earl (1810–1876) a prominent 19th-century British animal painter, also painted a visually related scene of dogs and roosters (e.g., “The Dispute”). Charming oil painting on board of a rustic farm scene involving an angry hen defending her eggs from a small dog (possibly a terrier) wearing a belled collar with a solitary slipper between them.
