A delightful miniature antique oil painting of a cockerel and chicken, standing bright, the cockrel with his glossy feathers,  in front of a warm ochre background
 
Smaller paintings are sought after and hard to source so I am delighted to bring you this 7.5" by 5" painting. 
 
It dates from the last quarter of the 1800s, you can particularly see this in the reverse from the aged with time canvas and stretchers. 
 
There is a small paint loss above the chicken's back
