An antique circular solitaire game illustrated with a farmyard scene showing several hens pecking in the center of the yard while a farm woman stands in the background in front of a house. The game's mechanism relies on a small metal ball and a movable hen: by slightly tilting the case, the ball is guided and the hen moved to the desired position in the center of the scene. These miniature skill games with rural themes were very popular around 1900 and today remain charming everyday objects from the Belle Époque.
