    I see strokes of Monet but this is far from being a guess.

    It was called Garden Path with Chickens, painted by Gustav Klimt in 1916. Got destroyed in a fire in 1945.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Oil Paintings By Klimt, Gustav
    Title: Garden Path with Chickens 1916 Artist: Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) Oil on canvas, 110 x 110 cm, Destroyed by fire at Immendorf Palace, 1945 Biographical Information Art Cistic on Klimt: The Nouveau Art movement in Austria was called the Secession. Gustav Klimt was its founder and president from 1897 to 1905. His painting The Kiss is a symbol of Vienna Secession. Gustav Klimt's style is highly ornamental. The Art Nouveau movement favored organic lines and contours. Klimt used a lot of gold and silver colors in his art work - certainly an heritage from his father's profession as a gold and silver engraver. Klimt's works of art were a scandal at his time because of the display of nudity and the subtle sexuality and eroticism. His best know painting The Kiss, was first exhibited in 1908. As everything coming out of Klimt's hands, it was highly controversial and admired at the same time.

    My question to you:

    Did you actually know that or did you merely type in "path chicken" into a search engine like I did?
