Ducks and Chickens

This is an oil on panel by Belgian artist Frans Van Severdonck (1809-1889)  The painting showing Ducks and chickens measures 6 7/8X10 3/8 inches.  It is signed and dated 1889 in the lower center and also identified on the back of the panel.  "Franz van Severdonck was a master of animals and created numerous compositions with sheep, horses and chickens. "  This painting could use a light cleaning.  But is quite presentable as it now hangs.
